Case against Raj Thackeray in UP

Meerut: A case has been registered in a local court in Meerut against Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray for allegedly saying that terror activities are on the rise due to influx of north Indians.

Uttar Pradesh Navnirman Sena leader Amit Jani filed the case in the court of Additional Sessions Judge AK Mishra.

The next hearing for the case is scheduled on February 3. Thackeray had attacked north Indians after two men from Bihar were arrested in the 13/7 serial blasts case.

Before making derogatory comments about north Indians, Raj Thackeray should tell where have Chhota Rajan, Dawood Ibrahim and Vadhrajan come from, said the petitioner.

"I have been saying that due to influx of north Indians, terror activities are on the rise. The arrest of terrorists hailing from Bihar, in the 13/7 serial blasts case, has confirmed my claim," Raj had said.

Speaking to reporters after filing the case, Jani said, "Before making derogatory comments about north Indians, he should tell where have Chhota Rajan, Dawood Ibrahim and Vadhrajan come from."

Thackerey is doing this for cheap publicity, he said.
