"No one can contain or stifle the Shiv Sena's roar."


NDTV reports here,
The Mumbai Police has filed a case against members of the Shiv Sena who organized a rally at Shivaji Park on Dusshera. The Bombay High Court had ruled that the party would be permitted to go ahead with its annual rally at Shivaji Park, provided the speakers did not exceed the 50-decibel limit. The Sena agreed to that in court.
But at the rally, Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray had mocked the Bombay High Court saying "Is my volume within 50 decibels. No one can contain or stifle the Shiv Sena's roar." 
In an editorial in its mouthpiece, Saamana, the party today said, "Loudspeakers blaring out 'azaan' atop mosques in Bhendi Bazar and Behrampada areas disturb sleep and children's studies. Action should be taken against them also."
It really is as simple as that- "No one can contain or stifle the Shiv Sena's roar"- because the Shiv Sena is nothing but a thuggish bunch of goondas who go around taking every law in their hand and justifying it all with some bizarre nationalistic/religious/moral reasoning, and  all the while, our ministers watch, ignore, and condone. After all, it's all about the voter bank that might be lost- freedom of speech, public law and order, freedom to reside anywhere within the country etc. can all make their way to hell while the Shiv Sena and it's hooligans stand there "mocking" the judicial institutions of the nation. 

Well done, Mumbai police. While the Chief Minister Ashok Chavan decides that Rohantan Mistry's "offensive" book should indeed be banned, at least someone is standing up to the Thuggerays.

Shiv Sena's ideology is just sick. The mere mention of the Sena or of Raj Thackrey makes me nauseous. Yet, I must admit that they make an occasional point that is valid. In fact even the BJP keeps harping on these 2 points (which I agree with):

1.A separate civil code for a certain religion is outright discriminatory.

2. Kashmir is either a part of India just like every other Indian state, or it isnt. What is the nonsense about special treatment (with Article 370) ?
