Arrest Mumbai Police arrested MNS chief on early Tuesday morning under various sections of IPC some of which are bailable and some are non-bailable. A Jharkhand court had issued non-bailable warrant orders against him in the wake of attacks on north-Indian railway board examinees in Mumbai on Sunday. It must be learnt that MNS workers had attacked and mercilessly thrashed the north-Indian railway board examinees most of which were from the states of UP and Bihar. Some Bihar youths have claimed that MNS has beaten a candidate to death. His body was brought to Bihar on Tuesday. Mumbai police has claimed that he was killed in a stampede when MNS workers had attacked the north-Indians at a railway station. But the Bihari youths have claimed that MNS activists had beaten him severely and he succumbed to his injuries.

Action After the arrest of MNS chief violence had erupted in some parts of the city. Police had to cane charge to disperse the MNS activists who were protesting in Bandra Metropolitan Magistrate Court where Raj Thackeray was produced after his arrest. Police had also arrester some MNS activists as a precautionary measure and also those who were involved in the attempted assault on candidates. It must be learnt that political leaders from across all parties had demanded strict action against the MNS chief for his violent actions. Congress led Maharashtra government was severely condemned by the opposition leaders for its failure to take a concrete action against the ‘militant leader’.

Anti-India Stand Shiv Sana had risen to power using same kind of anti-north Indians tactics during 60s and 70s. Raj Thackeray is following the way of his ‘mentor’. For him Maharashtra has become more important that India. His anti-north policies will only divide the nation. What will happen if north-Indians start to target the Marathies? Raj is using the same method that Bal Thackeray had used almost 40 years ago. But he has forgot that there is a long gap of forty years. Now people have understood the difference between ‘constructive and destructive politics’. Raj must accept the truth that veteran Ship Sena could not become a national leader because of his divisive policies. If he continues with his same ‘anti-India’ approach  then it won’t be wrong to call him a ‘traitor’.
