The whole issue was instigated by Samajwadi Party leader Abu Azmi. His statment that he wants to have Hindi mandatory in Mumbai BMC and that they will use force and drive away marathis from the BMC. He also made inflammatory statements about using lathis. Mumbai is a capital of Maharastra and its official language is Marathi.These kinda statments from a party which does not exist in Maharastra is uncalled for. It would definately upset the local population and political parties, imagine marathis gathering in a lucknow rally and making speeches to throw these bhayyas , biharis from rulling their state and making use of marathi mandatory in lucknow govt offices. Ask these parties to make a statement in kolkatta, chennai and see how locals react. For more details watch the CNN IBN Abu Amzi rally video.
The MNS vs SP fight which initially started took a bad turn and media reported it as marathis vs north indians. Media in India nowdays are baised and dont show the true picture. They showed MNS and Raj as a villian. Why these news channel didnt show the Abu Azmi rally speech ? Ask any north indian living in mumbai, have they been threatened. No because Mumbai is a peaceful city and those living in this city can understand.Mumbai has always welcome anyone and everyone from all the part of the country.

There are gujrathis, marwaris, tamilians, mallus, kannadiagana etc etc in the city, but none of these use their festivals to show their strength. Ask a mumbaikar how most of these north indians live 10-15 in a small room, living filthy , driving auto/taxi illegally, putting up bhel puri, paani poori stalls illegally. Any person who goes a particular place should respect the law of the land and respect local cultures.
Here are few question Why do you always see biharis in Indian railways ? Why are the Recruitment Ads for Mumbai, Maharashtra region is put in newspapers in UP, Bihar? Doesn't Lalu , Paswan favour the people from his region, So whats wrong in Raj Thakrey raising issues about Maharastrians and Mumbaikars ?
A true mumbaikar even those from UP, Bihar who are settled in mumbai for long time and tell you how a big mess mumbai has become, slums , crimes , etc etc. And we all know who is responsible for all this. The party which claims that they have made uttar pradesh as UTTAM Pardesh are now out of power in their home state come up with a new slogan UP HAAMRI hain ab MAHARASTRA ki baari hain. Let these parties first take care of UP and then think about other states.

wat law and order are u talking about......the one which exists in U.P. and bihar which are also very much integral part of india.its only a case of if we know someone is a giver(food,shelter,clothing and not to forget accomodating nature of marathi people)we selfishly tend to take more than it can offer.its become a scenario of acting victimised(by outsiders) if not offered more & being thankless for all its already given to outsiders.u 1st practise being guest in ur own house then reply about all LAW n ORDER situation. even would like to know if guests in your house wld do a show of strength in your house......plz reply

I totally agree wiht Vijay / Virendra, We are Indians first, but when one political party makes such a statment to woo one section of the society and then the rival party will follow suit. As a true mumbaaikar i do have many north indian friends, We live happily together .... As in my post i said some north indians and not all. The fact is that we should live in harmony and when ppl like Abu Azmi makes inflammatory statements, ppl like Raj retaliate and then whole situation is out of control.
