Wake up Raj

Recently, Raj Thackeray had threatened MLAs who do not take oaths in Marathi with dire consequences. His own elected MLAs even manhandled an MLA who took an oath in Hindi. The reason Raj gives is that "Karnataka madhe Kannada yet naslyamule eka minister la kadhun takla, te chalta. Ani ithe amhi marathit shapath ghyayachi mhanala ki chalat nahi". Wake up Raj...Is this why we elect people? Just to see that all elected people speak in Marathi? There's no need to copy bad stuff from other states. You should respect our Constitution which permits MLAs to take oaths in other languages as well. Raj, you had said that you'll be a very constructive opposition. Is this what you call constructive? We don't care about what language our leaders speak. We just want an output from them. If you really wants to fight for the Marathi Manoos, just see that your own MLAs and the others fulfill the promises they have made and seriously abide by their oaths....taken in whichever language the Constitution permits.
Your MLAs have now been suspended from the house for 4 years. Isn't it a loss for the people who elected them? Moreover, MNS supporters burned down around 21 buses in protest. Whose money is going down the drain then? The common man's or MNS'? Is this called constructive? What do you want to prove?
I am not saying that the guy, Abu Azmi, who took the oath in Hindi is any good. He had mocked the MNS men by showing them sandals. Such behavior should also be punished. If he can speak Marathi, he should have taken an oath in Marathi, rather than purposely speaking in Hindi to test MNS. Politics is really very dirty.
At the end of the day, its the loss of the Marathi Manoos only.
