Raj Thackeray compares his stand against Hindi people with that of Gandhiji against the British – but!

British were foreigners. They raped mother India for more than two hundred years through illegal occupation. What Gandhiji did was still ‘nonviolent’. Raj Thackeray may be right in his own mind. But he cannot preach violence. There is no place of violence against anyone in India. That is how India is different from America, Russia and China. All these countries have opted violence for their independence and civil war. India has not. The ethos of Indian ‘parampara’ is nonviolence and peace.

"No programme like UP Day, which shows North Indians poltical goondaism will be allowed to take place here. We will first request them with folded hands. If that did not work, we will face them with open hands", Thackeray said in an interview to Marathi weekly Lokprabha.

"One must abide by the basic principles of Constitution. But its intricacies keep changing. Don''t we amend the Constitution?" Thackeray said. "Today's issues were non-existent when the Constitution was drafted. The situation has changed now," he said.
