Malegaon:
Spewing venom against the Indian Muslims and questioning
loyalty of the Muslims in Malegaon and Bhiwandi, Raj Thackeray -
the communal leader of the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS)
Thursday said that the two Muslim dominated towns are the safe
heaven for the terrorists.
"There are places in Maharashtra
where terrorists from Pakistan and Bangladesh come and take
shelter. Malegaon and Bhiwandi are two of them", he said while
addressing an election rally by the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS)
in Malegaon.

Raj Thackeray |
The MNS rally, which was telecast
live, was organized at
Malegaon Eid-Gah ground Thursday to garner support for the party
candidates, who are contesting for the Malegaon Corporation
elections to be held on April 15.
"At these places, terrorists come
and stay. It is only when bomb blasts happen at some places and
investigations are done, it come to fore that those involved were
having tea with the locals", he said.
Interestingly, Raj Thackeray was in
Malegaon to address an election rally organised ahead of the civic
polls. However, instead of touching the local issues and speaking
on his party manifesto, he concentrated on the communal politics,
national issues and sought support for the 2014 Maharashtra
Assembly elections.
"I know the conditions in Malegaon
is very bad. But same is the case everywhere in the state. If you
want to see the changes in the town, vote for me in the 2014
elections", he said.
Famous for textile industry, both
Malegaon and Bhiwandi are dominated by Muslims, who are mostly
from Uttar Pradesh. Bhiwandi Corporation elections are also
scheduled on April 15.
In yet another similarity, both of
these towns had seen in the past worst kind of communal riots.
Malegaon, besides a series of communal riots, had also seen two
terror attacks.
The investigating agencies have
arrested terrorists associated with the rightwing Hindu
organizations as accused in both of the terror attacks.
Interestingly, Raj Thackeray did not say anything about the
communal riots and the arrests of the Hindu terrorists who were
accused of planning terror attacks in Malegaon.
