Uddhav Thackeray is talking about the right to protest at the Rahul Gandhi rally in Mumbai. Who are the Thackeray's fooling ? They are treating everyone in Maharashtra as if they are their slaves. Now they are asking for their own rights ? Shiv Sainiks were told by the state government that the demonstrations would not be allowed close to Rahul Gandhi's rally or something to that effect.
Every one has to comply with Shiv Sena/Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) rules or leave Maharashtra. Do these politicians own Maharashtra ? Who gave them the right to hold every one at ransom ? How can we turn a blind eye towards them ? They asked Amitabh, Jaya Bachchan and now Shah Rukh Khan to apologize for a personal comment they made. Do those people (common man) not have any right to express their feelings ?
Whenever such things happen in Indian polity, why does not the whole fraternity (actors, artists, sports personalities) come together in defense of their own people. Time and again our elite group cozies up with the politicians. Finally they all succumb to the political pressure and end up apologizing to these handful of politicians ? What does our elite group has to lose ? If the elite crowd does not stand for their own cause then who will ? They are the ones who should be setting up examples for the people to emulate. They are powerful, they have the clout and support of the people. It is high time that actors, artists, sports personalities etc stand up against our politicians fearlessly.
