This past weekend there was a major scuffle between 2 Sikh factions in Mulund. One group was allegedly and deservedly pissed off at Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh's bodyguard for killing one of the protesters. The protesters were protesting for the arrest of the sect's chief for dressing up like Guru Gobind Singh at an earlier event. The killing of the protester spilled on to the streets and violence broke out. Once again stuck in the middle was the common man.
Shops were vandalized, railway tracks blocked, trains affected and innocent men and women were threatened by sword-brandishing rioters.
To add to this mayhem, a Shiv Sena leader has warned that there will be more violence if the Sikh group does not stop this violence. What!!!!!!!! Instead of lessening the pain, Shiv Sena is trying to inflict more. They are angry that innocent Maharashtrian men and women are being targeted and threatened. Shiv Sena is worried about the closure of shops and rail-roko stuff. What they don't realize is that they themselves are one of the most offensive political groups in the country resorting to violence and hampering the normal routine of the Maharashtrian people. No political group is non-violent but Shiv Sena's reaction is beyond sensible. I am sure they are going to play the "Hindu" card again or if it is Raj Thackeray, he is going to use the "Aamchi Maathi Aamchi Maansa" card to protect Maharashtra. The elections are nearing and Shiv Sena wants to win big by "protecting" the people. Bal Thackeray is getting older and the "Remote Control" is not functioning anymore as compared to the mid-1990s. The most horrible scenario would be when Thackeray Sr. dies of natural causes, Shiv Sena would call for a Maharashtra bandh or most certainly a Mumbai bandh, obstructing businesses and destroying anything and everything that moves to honor their leader.
You may have heard in the past week that Bal Thackeray wants Hindu Suicide groups to be formed to retaliate against Muslim extremists groups. This kind of propaganda and "out-of-the-box" thinking is going to leave Mumbai and the rest of the country burning again. 1992 anyone??
