MNS chief Raj Thackeray blames 'Bihari' migrants for Delhi gangrape

MNS chief Raj Thackeray (Reuters)

Mumbai Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray has blamed "Bihari" migrants for the recent case of gangrape of a girl in New Delhi.

"All are talking about the Delhi gangrape, but nobody is asking from where these men came. No one is asking who did this. So many cases are slapped against me (for speaking against Biharis) but no one is talking about the fact that all these rapists are from Bihar," he said, addressing a public function in suburban Goregaon last night.

"The system has collapsed," Raj said.

The gangrape of a 23-year-old paramedical student in the national capital has led to thousands of protesters taking to the streets demanding stricter anti-rape laws.

A Delhi court, yesterday, took cognisance of the charge sheet filed by the Delhi Police and summoned the five accused named in it on January 7.

The case of the minor accused in the crime will also be heard before a Juvenile Justice Board.

RJD chief Lalu Prasad slams Raj for habitually insulting Bihari migrants

RJD chief Lalu Prasad today slammed MNS chief Raj Thackeray for blaming Bihari migrants for the Delhi gang-rape case and related incidents occurring elsewhere in the country.

"It has become a habit of (Raj) Thackeray and his extended family (Shiv Sena) to insult Bihari migrants all the time and for all crimes taking place in the country," he said.

They should refrain from making habitual and insulting remarks against the Bihari migrants as these were not in national interests, Prasad told reporters.

Flaying the tendency to equate the people of a particular state with crimes, the RJD chief said people of a state in general could not be blamed for crimes, the perpetrators of which should be dealt with sternly.

The Thackerays were guilty of making insulting and provocative comments against the Bihari migrants to further their divisive political agenda, he said.

Prasad said he sought to remind the MNS and Shiv Sena leaders that the people of Bihar have played a great role in promotion of unity and integrity of the country and they too have been victims of brutal assault and crimes, he said.

Prasad was referring to the murder of an engineering student from Bihar in Odisha recently.

The perpetrators of crimes against the Biharis in other states have not been targeted or subjected to insulting remarks and it would be unfair to do so, the RJD leader said.

Prasad also hit out at the RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat for "insensitive" remarks against women telling them various do's and don'ts, besides attributing rising incidents of crime against women to the Western values and lifestyles being adopted by urban Indian people.

Bhagwat should note that men commit most of the crimes occurring in the society and not women, he said.

Stop hate speech and cheap politics by Lawyer on 07 Jan 2013

Where was this guy when terrorist attack happened? He does politics based on regionalism and religion. He is not worth even listening to. Next time he will try to ban Indians out of Mumbai. What he thinks of himself? King of Mumbai? Secondly, the accused person are 1. Ram Singh - from Rajasthan 2. Mukesh Singh - from Rajasthan 3. Vinay Sharma - from UP 4. Pawan Gupta - from UP 5. Muhammad Afroz - The so called Juvenile from UP 6. Akshay Thakur - from Bihar So basically all north Indians are criminals? Mr. Thackeray should be reminded that some of brutal sexual offences have happened in his state too, and they are his very own people and not migrants! What about them? Criminals don't belong to a particular region or religion. He really needs to grow up in his thinking.

Delhi rapist with relevance of Bihari by Mr.Thakerey by om prakash on 07 Jan 2013

ur very much right that Mr.Raj needs phycology test his mind is not in its state & the same who speak for the motion i am sure they are very much afraid of Biharis that's why he is saying Bihari went to Mautirius and now a PM & Prs is Bihari origin that's why we are proud of ourself we are hardworking and hardworking never goes vain. 2ndly why not he has spoken about the rapist who are from Up, Rajasthan and Delhi.if you have any doubts why not you take the statics data and then you right Mr.Thakery and his followers. That's why there is proverb " Little knowledge is dangerous thing".

Disgusting Raj and Bal by Vinita Ayhawale on 07 Jan 2013

for all thos who condemn Raj Thakeray: Don't forget tomorrow Raj will start attaking Muslims. They , I am afraid all those who condemn him today will support him or keep silent. We should rememebr what Bal Thackeray did. He started attacking (and physically) south indians first and then north indians and then finally he massacred muslims. Raj is following th same path. If you think his politics is condemnable please kee in mind this pattern and let us condemn his every action when it is narrow and parochial. He is a danegerous man and has all the qualities of his uncle..a criminal with sick menatlist

Please grow up Mr. Raj by Amresh Anand on 07 Jan 2013

Don't make such fake silly comments.. I don't want to comment anything more than that.

Anything Migrant responsible by ThinkIndian on 07 Jan 2013

He can blame migrants even for his constipation, who can do anything about it? But I m really impressed with his interest in crime situation across the country. He always teach police how to behave and many time he takes control from police of the situation. But where was this guy when Kasab was killing people. That time he was he and his goons were hiding at what location god only knows. And that time thankfully he did not demanded that only Marathi commandos are allowed to fight terrorist. He talks about migrants and he himself is biggest imposer as his party men produce Bhojpuri movies and ransack theater showing ovies from other producers. He shelter all Gunda's himself and with his keen interest in crime he will surely make Maharastra no.1 state in crime. Who raped nayana in Pune? was he a migrant or maharashtrian. Mumbai biggest don's Gawli and Dawood are from Mahrashtra? how can he blame migrants for crime?

Log. Officer by Amin Khan on 07 Jan 2013

Raj Thakery is absolutely right. Lalu Prasad you are one of the Politicians responsible for Jugle Ra in Bihar. You never ever tried to develope your state you are fully responsible. This Biharis goes from one place to another for work and they never ever find sometime to return home to their families and then the crime takes place. Raj is absolutely right. Even in Mumbai they come and commit crime. Delhi all the six culprits are from Bihar and UP. Whereever this Biharis goes and commit crime. Why Lalu Prasad is ashmed when the talks comes in front why he want to defend the Biharis.

Stop hate speeches by anonymus on 07 Jan 2013

Please Read Newspapers and stats. and then compare any state. No state is any proud of this situation.. be it MP , Maha, AP or any other.. its a shameful matter for the whole nation .. nothing can be achieved by making hate speeches

Facts about your stmt by abhishek on 07 Jan 2013

Dear Amin, For your kindest information Two of the accused are from Rajasthan, one from Delhi,one from up and one from Bihar, others info is witheld. Also if we go by this sequence as per your statement then all the muslims are terrorists beloging to different terror outfits, All sikhs are belonging to khalistan etc.... I am not sure how guys like you can spread misconception, and hatred even in this situation where the whole country should stand together. During 26/11 the Commando died Maj. Unnikrishnan was from keral and the injured were from haryana and UP.What would have happened if they would have told that they wont fight for mumbai as it is not there state. What if personal in army stops fighting in any state other than there home land. How the hell you think our country will develop.Just because of people like you who do not think for nation and spread hatred among the country even after more than 65 year of independence we still are developing nation.

To Amin by rakesh on 07 Jan 2013

By going your theory, all muslims are terrorist then ? Because in 95% cases muslims are associated with all the bomb blast that took place in India. What do you have to say ?

RAJ THACKREY AND BIHARIS by sadakchap on 07 Jan 2013

Rajsaheb is correct. The Biharis went to Mauritius an indentured labour and today a person of Bihari origin is the Prime Minister of the Country!!!!!!!

INDIA by Raj on 07 Jan 2013

That is called growth you sadakchap and Rajsaheb is nothing but a mind sick person and so are you who inspite of spreading unity trying to saperate the country.

Raj, become a national leader by Pee-Kay on 06 Jan 2013

Focus on criminal elements, irrespective of their state affiliation. Cultural stigmas in UP and Bihar promote violence against women without any penalties. This needs to be stopped immediately by making women more aware of their rights. Women need not take the back seat in such settings.

Wake up Bharat Rashtra! by Hindustani on 06 Jan 2013

Raj Thackray, don't be after Hindu brothers. Mind Muslims specially after Mr.Bal Thackray, they are trying raise their head in Hindustan. You need to remind them that they are not in Pakistan.

First see yourself by Carmel on 07 Jan 2013

First of all Raj Thakrey is himself of Bihari origin and other thing is that the word Hindustani you have given to your name is itself from the language of Muslims. Remember beggers are not chosers, people like you have fooled innocent hindus by saying that since years, instead of giving them rights as well as created differences in peaceful community of Hindus and Muslims. Before the war of 1857 why there do not use to be Hindu Muslim riots? Infact the Bristishers hired people of cheap mentality to sow the seed of hatred.

Grow up Will you??? by Shrenik on 06 Jan 2013

Now, this is really silly to blame any particular state or its people for crimes. I want to ask Mr. Raj that there was a famous Rape case in Pune Maharashtra, where a software engineer was murdered after rape. It is also very well known fact who were the perpetrators and one is absconding now due to negligence of police. Now, here the criminals were from Maharashtra, and all I am saying is that criminals don't come from a particular place or state. Criminals are everywhere. Lets just punish criminals and not allow Politicians like Raj Thackrey to fool public with parochial Politics.

Raj Thackre you are wrong by Kaushal on 06 Jan 2013

The perpetrators of Delhi Gangrape were following: 1. Ram Singh - from Rajasthan, 2. Mukesh Singh - from Rajasthan, 3. Vinay Sharma - from UP 4. Pawan Gupta - from UP 5. Muhammad Afroz - Juvenile from UP and 6. Akshay Thakur - from Bihar

Raj is partly correct by ks on 07 Jan 2013

All states are in North.

Raj Thakrey and Narendra Modi are close friends with same thinking by Mayank on 06 Jan 2013

Raj Thakrey and Narendra Modi are close friends with same thinking and same ideology about people of India.

Biharis are docile by Maj(Retd) Bikram Thapa on 06 Jan 2013

I denied the statement of MNS Chief so called Mr Raj Thoku he should not blame any particular people. My own thinking only biharis are hard worker simple docile and honest how Mumbai is moving only due to Biharis. May i request Mr Raj to take his word back dont give such type of statement in his own den. No one know you. required to carry out his psycho test. This India and and we are one and respect Bharat not Punjabi, Bihari, Maharastrian ...etc please try to be Indian court will punish the rapists and love the country not by caste religion area an Indian can go any where in INDIA REMEMBER.So proudly say Mera Bharat Mahan.

Lol on Raj Thackeray by Atul on 06 Jan 2013

This guy never let me bored..... He is fun to watch and read. "Last month, an MNS leader was arrested for raping a minor girl. Three years ago, a minor domestic help was gang-raped by four MNS workers. An MNS leader was arrested for the rape of a girl in Amravati in April 2011,"

Raj is showing his only anger about "Bihar". by Prakash Mahto on 06 Jan 2013

Some sick people don't understand the gravity of situation and open their mouth just to hog the limelight which they can't gain by doing some constructive work! His comment is not showing the actual situation only showing his anger about the Bihar through Delhi rap. I think Raj Thackray, U should need to take education of the Indian unity. PS: I'm from Delhi.

Biharis by Jacob on 06 Jan 2013

Bihar was once a jewel of India, with its great learning centers. It has been run to the ground by rapacious politicians and landlords. It is not their fault to seek opportunities outside to earn a decent living, since the state has a long way to go to regain its lost glory, which it will definitely do under the present chief minister. However, a few bad apples are out there to commit rapes and burglaries. But, it is wrong to typecast and condemn all Biharis.

PLEASE GROW UP..... by shailja shekhar on 06 Jan 2013

My only request to everyone, is to grow up to a mature and sensible person and think rationally. Please don't try to make this sensitive issue 'state fight'. India reflects 'unity in diversity'. Culprits are culprits. No matter from which State, they belong to. Come out of this narrow mindedness and give a deep and honest thought as how we can change our present social scenario....

Just Ask Raj Thackeray the names of Nayana Pujari rape and murder.......Indian Express You ask him...then let us see his reaction.....ask hiM who is constable Sunil More?.....are these Bihari's....

DELHI POLICE SHOULD FIRST DISCLOSE THE RESIDENCY OF THE ACCUSED by RAJAT KUMAR MOHINDRU .JALANDHAR CITY.PUNJAB on 06 Jan 2013

The M.N.S. Chief Raj Thackeray has once again put the Indian's in Dilemma by commenting the accused in the Delhi Gang Rape in the Bus are from Bihar . Really till yet the Police has not quoted the Residency of the Accused but Raj Thackeray has quoted the accused as Bihari Migrants .Really an unfortunate comment .

I don't subscribe to Raj Thackrey's views by Kovid Rathee on 06 Jan 2013

There are bad people everywhere. They are in Bihar, in U.P., in Delhi itself, in Mumbai, in every city and village of the country. He has a reputation of being anti-Bihar forever. There is definitely a political subtext, though very mild, to what he said. And whoever is talking of containing the migration of Biharis to Delhi or any other state must not forget that we still live in ONE country.

Ravi by Ravi on 06 Jan 2013

Another Idiotic comment by an idiot...
