Raj Thackeray, on Myself

In a letter to the media, MNS chief offered his take on the Mumbai attacks. He had the following to say:

Firstly, let me make it clear that it is wrong to say that the attacks happened in Mumbai...South Mumbai, especially the Trident, Taj and Nariman House area is not Mumbai...Mumbai is where the Marathi manoos resides which is towards the north...I have a map...In South Mumbai it is businessmen, tourists, foreigners, professionals, cricketers, film stars who reside...so the attack happened in India and we at the MNS are sorry as we are not in favor of people being killed by terrorists as their cause is not justified...MNS activists sometimes kill some north Indians by mistake...but there is a cause here..

Secondly, I have a problem with the NSG... They are heroes not doubt...but the bigger question is why there is no NSG unit stationed in Mumbai...this is a conspiracy by north Indian politicians to prevent marathi manoos from getting jobs...I demand that a NSG unit be raised in Mumbai immediately with 90 % reservations...it will also provide an opportunity to our local people to prove their mettle when the time comes... it of course goes without saying that the Mumbai NSG will be called SSG or MSG, S for Shivaji, M for Maratha or BSG, B for Bal if I make up with my uncle..

Thirdly, I would like to make a comment about my favorite whipping boy Amitabh Bachchan....he apparently slept with a gun under his pillow during the time of the attacks...this is false propaganda...I know for sure that Mr Bachachan sleeps with a gun everyday under his pillow...he also carries one with him all the time...and he is scared not of the terrorists, but the marathi manoos...Mr Bachchan continues to be inspired by his old movies especially Inquilaab in which he killed politicians...that is why even I sleep with a gun under my pillow...Mr Bachchan is a threat to me, Mumbai and Maharashtra... he should stay in Allahabad..

Fourthly, I have worked out a solution to the terror problems...it is all to do with the names....global terrorists seek global names...so we have Taj, Trident, Marriott...all global names...the trick is to fool the terrorists which our intelligence agencies have not managed....change the names which of course should be Marathi in the genre of MSG, SSG or BSG.... the north Indian media is to blame for the attack on Chattarpati Shivaji Terminus (CST)....they keep on refering it as Victoria Terminus (VT), another global sounding name....so the terrorists struck there...all media houses refering to CST as VT will be banned...Names count for a lot...I am Raj (three letters) so I am already more famous than my uncle Bal...look at Uddhav...a six lettered individual...he does not exist in peoples (I mean marathi manoos) minds....I do, though even the terrorists do, but Im a politician who play with votes, they play with bullets...

Jai Mumbai (excluding south Mumbai)
