LAW & DISORDER

The ugly statements being made by the ‘Thakeray Mafia’ of Bombay (read that as Mumbai – if you are scared?) are disgusting. More importantly it is a dangerous threat to Indians including the ‘Marathi Manoos’ in view of the evident break down of governance being explored by self appointed leaders.
Democracy cannot exist with intolerance unless rule of law is swiftly imposed. The Bals/Udhavs/Rajs and their like have been treated with fear by the State for far too long. This soft attitude for political expediency by successive governments in Maharashtra has given their followers a sense of invincibility which has now reached an alarming level, interfering with the freedom of citizens guaranteed by our Constitution.
Udhav has the audacity of calling the Home Minister of India on national TV as the HM of Pakistan!! and warning other law abiding citizens to restrict themselves within domains dictated by him while showing absolute disrespect for our democratic environment. It is ironic that he claims his right to abuse any one and every one under the same democratic space guaranteed by the Constitution!!
Blatant ridicule of the rule of law cannot be allowed to continue and culprits must be punished without fear or favour.
May be “Pink Chaddi” type campaign needs to be launched as “Orange Chaddi” considering the mockery being made by Bal wearing orange robes to project himself as a sanyasi akin to a snarling wolf in sheep’s clothing!!
