On the statement of Maharashtra Navnirman Sena President Raj Thackeray, BJP leader Annamalai has challenged him to stop him from entering Mumbai. This entire controversy started when Thackeray jokingly called the BJP leader Rasmalai and questioned his right to speak on issues related to Mumbai.
BJP leader Annalai held a press conference in Chennai on Monday. During this time he alleged that he had received many threats. Some people have threatened to cut off his legs. Who are Aditya and Raj Thackeray to threaten me?
Annamalai said that he is proud that he is the son of a farmer. They have organized a meeting to abuse me. I didn’t know I became so important. Some people have threatened to cut off my legs. I will go to Mumbai and try to cut off my feet. If I was afraid of such threats, I would have stayed in my village. If I say that Kamaraj is one of the greatest leaders of India, does it mean that he is no longer a Tamil?
Annamalai has said that Mumbai is an international city. Does this mean that it was not made by the people of Maharashtra, are these people foolish?
What is the root of the whole controversy?
Actually, Raj Thackeray has targeted Annamalai for calling Mumbai an international city. He had mentioned the slogan of his uncle Bal Thackeray from the 1960s to 1970s. Bal Thackeray had then given the slogan, Hatao Lungi, Bajao Pungi.
News agency ANI reported that Raj Thackeray had said in a UBT and MNS rally that some Rasmalai came from Tamil Nadu, what do you have to do here? Remove lungi and play pungi.
If you talk about imposing Hindi, you will be kicked out: Thackeray
He also said that if people from Bihar and UP try to impose Hindi, they will kick them away. People of UP and Bihar should understand that Hindi is not your language. I don’t hate the language, but if you try to impose it I will kick you. They are coming to Maharashtra from all sides. Taking away your share. If land and language are lost, you will be destroyed.
Attack on BJP over fake Hindutva
He also attacked BJP on the issue of fake Hindutva. Uddhav Thackeray said that their political alliance happened because of the threat facing Mumbai. He and Raj Thackeray have forgotten their differences in the interest of Marathi people, Hindus and Maharashtra.
Raj Thackeray said that both the leaders have come together because Mumbai is in danger. He described BMC elections as the last election for Marathi people. Raj Thackeray has appealed that if you miss this opportunity, you will be doomed. Marathi and Maharashtra unite.
