Yesterday, MNS has threatened actors and activists from Pakistan to leave the country within 48 hours or they will push them out. On the contrary, the SP leader gave a dare to MNS Chief Raj Thackeray to send his suicide bombers to Pak.
Do you know who is he?
Abu Azmi is the one who challenged Raj Thackeray to do so. Azmi was annoyed by the MNS chief who condemned Pak artists and actors.
He says,
“Today, Pakistan is sending suicide squads (fidayeen) to India, if you have the potential and sympathy, then you should also send your suicide bombers to Lahore and Karachi to fight against Pakistan or you should stop intimidating people who have come to India legally on an India visa. Stop fooling around as it will further dent your votebank.”
The MNS workers are breaking the laws and orders by threatening the musician and actors coming from the neighboring country. He further adds,
“Forget about Pakistan, as you (Raj Thackeray) are a small leader and your reach is limited to Maharashtra only. Today, Naxals are attacking policemen in Gadchiroli and Chandrapur, and if you are unable to do anything in Karachi and Lahore, then you send your activists in Maharashtra to save our security forces, and then I will understand that you are doing something practical.”
Such hooliganism is intolerable and Sena is breaking all the rules. “It is true that Pakistani people (terrorists) killed 17 (18) jawans, which had lowered our moral and we should take revenge from Pakistan, but it does not mean that you will threaten artists and players coming from there.” said, Azmi.
He has challenged Raj Thackeray to go to Delhi and close the Pakistan Embassy. If he has potential, he should also stop the Indian Embassy in Pakistan from granting visas to people to visit India. “But you are threatening those people who have come here on Indian visas so that they come to you and you strike a deal with them, it is nothing but an attempt to make a fool of people. If you have so much pain and you want to push the Pakistani people out, then why only in Mumbai, you should work in the entire country,” he added.
The Story behind this
On Friday, 23rd September, MNS workers said they won’t allow the release of ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’ and ‘Raees’ as the movies feature Pakistani actors Fawad Khan and Mahira Khan. Amey Khopkar, MNS Chitrapat Sena President, gave 48 hours deadline to the actors to leave India or they would face serious consequences.
Khopkar said,
“Pakistani kalakaar toh maar khaayenge hi, saath mein jo yahan producer/director hain unko bhi peetenge. (Pakistani artists will definitely be beaten along with their producers and directors)
It is not the first time that the two political leaders are facing off. Azmi and Thackeray were engaged in a verbal war for north Indian migrants working in Mumbai after the Sena chief declared attacks in 2008.
Do you think what MNS is doing will benefit our country? Banning the actors and artists from Pakistan will lessen the threat of terrorism? Share your views with us in the comments section below.
