Its only now that the media is bringing to notice a very convinently forgotten fact.
Violence started after Samajwadi Party leaders and North Indian like Abu Asim Azmi, Mulayam Singh and Amar Singh made outragious speaches of vowing to throw all Marathis out of Mumbai and to distribute lathis to North Indians in the Samajvadi Party meeting at Dadar in Mumbai.
Please see the CNN-IBN viedio clip which will show that speach.
Violence started after this outrageous statements by north Indians.
Imagine you taking 25,000 Hindi speaking Bhaiyas to Bangalore or Hyderabad or Chennai. And there make a statement that you will throw out all Telghus out of Hyderabad or throw out all Tamils out of Chennai or throw out all Kannadigas out of Bangalore..!!!! and then say Hyderabad, Chennai and Banglore are not anyones personal propertey. Its that outrageous.
Media has been selectively biased against Maharstrians and Marathi on large. Where Anti Raj news was put out with the maximum vissibility. The provocation from North Indians was very very conviniently ignored.

Media is still distorting the facts based on Raj T's inputs. Raj Thackeray had told Media (now that he has achieved a little popularity) to shift the blame onto SP and say just because they provoked, that is the reason for him to go and kill people. It's like killing a cat just because it snared at you. And even saying SP said it first is wrong. It was in fact not started one week back or anything, RajT has been at it long before all these blame game started about who provoked it first. Now the CBI will conveniently ignore the fact that even before SP started those statements, RajT had already incited anti north india rhetoric.
