Uddhav and Raj Thackeray want a permit system to be implemented in aamchi Mumbai to regulate the number of Bihari migrants entering the city; pray since when did migrants start policing fellow migrants?
The first claim if any on Mumbai is that of the fisher folk and Parsis who were the original inhabitants of this group of islands and one fails to understand the rationale behind migrants trying to whip up passions against fellow migrants when the original settlers aren't complaining.
Haven't these country bumpkins ever heard of an age old dictum called "UNITY IN DIVERSITY" which is the cornerstone of both our constitution as well as our centuries old culture.
Better still, why don't the saner minded people of Mumbai come together on a common platform and embrace all the migrants who have become an integral part of Mumbai's growth story, thereby putting paid to these divisive elements nefarious plans and tendencies to divide the country and it's people on regional lines.
Better still let the home ministry issue a permanent permit in the names of the Thackeray cousins and pack them off to the cellular jail located within the Andaman and Nicobar islands for the greater good of all Indians and Mumbaikars in particular.
These cousins and other inhospitable folk inspired by them end up giving the age old Indian practice of "ATHITHI DEVO BHAVA" a bad name......and raise serious doubts about our much vaunted "MEHMAAN NAWAAZI".
