Raj thakeray slams bjp, praises congress

Mumbai, Nov 30: MNS chief Raj Thackeray, who was silent for the last three days, on Sunday criticised the BJP for "politicising" the Mumbai terror attacks and praised Congress President Sonia Gandhi for her restraint in the past in similar circumstances.

In an open letter to the Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Minister, Raj said, "The filthy politicising by L K Advani and Narendra Modi after the deaths of Marathi policemen in terror attacks shows that you have an opposition that only indulges in opportunism and exploitation of people's plight."

"This is not a time to indulge in politics. Against this backdrop, one must concede, despite political differences, that the restraint showed by Sonia Gandhi at the time of attack on the Parliament was really commendable," the MNS chief said.

Hitting out at Shiv Sena, Raj said, "Going by the inhuman and dirty writing about Karkare and his ATS in the mouthpiece of a main opposition party a few days before the attacks, it has become impossible for the police to work without fear and in objective manner."

Just before the attacks, 'Samaana' editorials had targeted Karkare and ATS for probe into the Malegaon blast case.

"But Karkare and other 13 brave Marathi policemen's martyrdom shows that terrorism is not Hindu or Muslim," Raj said.

"I urge you this is a time to govern ruthlessly. To clear out the encroaching migrants, to carry out combing without mercy," he said.
