MNS headed by Raj Thackrey and his followers have assaulted north indians for taking away local jobs. Raj Thackrey after breaking away from Shivasena wants to gain a foothold in state politics. He has conveniently raked up the issue of Maratha pride or Me mumbaikar. It was on the same plank that Bal Thackrey under shivasena gained foothold in the state. Bal and Udhav intially criticised Raj but did a U turn fearing loss of votes. A clear cut case of Vote bank politics.
Few days back Kannada Rakshana Vedike protested aganst Inidan railway recruitment drive citing that people from karnataka are not getting preference for Group D workers. Raj thackrey followers targetted Cab drivers from North India. 10000 North indian migrants left Nasik fearing their lives.
India is a Union of States and its ones prerogative to work anywhere he wishes to. In this era of Globalisation, it is unrealistic to expect that people from one state cannot work in another state.
Centre cannot just sit back and watch these developments. They have to assure migrants and provide them adequate security. Most of the migrants are sole bread winners for their family. If the centre doesnt do enough to supress this petty brawl, it will get repeated in other states and migrants will become a victim of politics. Tomorrow it might be Karnataka vs Andhra, Karnataka Vs Tamilnadu for taking away IT jobs in Bangalore. If this trend continues intense Regionalism will prove a spoiler for the progress of our country.
