Raj Thackeray used wrong media report to attack Bihar MLAs

 

Patna, (Bihar Times): Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray on Saturday used a factually wrong media report to lambaste the Bihar MLAs and said that it was because of this reason that he was opposed to the outsiders. The MLAs from Bihar strongly protested the absence of reference to attack on Biharis in the speech delivered by the governor in the joint session of the Assembly on the first day on Friday.

Though the MLAs anger was directed at the state government as the governor’s speech is approved by the state cabinet a section of media irresponsibly presented it in such a way as if the opposition members were deliberately attacking R S Gavai, who incidentally comes from Maharashtra. The BJP leaders in the Bihar assembly too gave a new twist to the whole episode by stating that a Dalit fovernor from Maharashtra was insulted. Raising protest over the governor’s speech is a common phenomenon everywhere in the country.

According to reports coming from Mumbai Raj Thackeray said that this was the reason for him to launch an agitation. The answer to this question lies in the manner in which the MLAs of Bihar behaved in front of the Maharashtrian Governor of Bihar R S Gavai, Raj said.

He gave this statement even though he is prohibited under magisterial orders to hold public rallies, demonstrations and give provocative statements in media.
