MNS turns wrath on private firms in Maharashtra

Zeenews Bureau Mumbai, April 09:

After attacking North Indians in general and Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan in particular, the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) has now taken on private firms operating in the Western state. In a letter dispatched to six private firms operating in Maharashtra, the MNS has asked them to fill at least 80% of the posts with locals or ‘bhoomiputras’ – those who had been living in the state for the past 15 years. If the companies failed to heed to the MNS call, they won’t be allowed to function in the state, the letter said. The MNS is also holding an emergency meeting, which is being attended by party workers from all over the state. The threat to private firms follows MNS workers’ recent attacks on North Indians working in Maharashtra for allegedly snatching away jobs from Marathi people. Party chief Raj Thackeray had also launched a scathing attack on Amitabh Bachchan, accusing him of doing nothing for the state where he had been living and working for the past four decades. Thackeray had said the actor was instead more worried about Uttar Pradesh, where he was born.

I disagree with the comment that Raj is no different than Modi. Modi stands for Indian nationalism whereas Raj, like Jinnah, wants to break up India. - K.Venugopal - Mumbai
