Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray on Thursday disagreed with Omar Abdullahs contention that Kashmir would flare up if Afzal Guru was hanged and demanded that the Parliament attack convict be sent to the gallows immediately.
Seeking execution of Guru,he said the Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister should be slapped in the face for saying so.
If you cant hang Guru even after nine years,then put a lock on the government, he said at the partys traditional Dussehra rally at Shivaji Park in central Mumbai. He also said that the government was spending a huge amount of money to keep Pakistani terrorist Ajmal Kasab alive.
With his eyes set on the upcoming civic elections in Mumbai,Thackeray questioned why courts had not asked for the central government to be shut down after so many scams and urged the people to take to the streets if the need arose.
Referring to local issues,he said the Sena would not permit reclamation,renaming of Dadar station and ensure landmark roads like Mumbai-Pune expressway and Bandra-Worli Sea Link are named after Marathi stalwarts. Be ready to take to the streets,when I call for it. We have to ensure that these Congress men are left running for shelter. They are taking decision of reclamation which will deprive the fishermen community of their livelihood and are unwilling to take decision of housing for mill workers,the original residents of Mumbai. And I will stand behind them, Thackeray said.
Referring to the bandh called by Sena for mill workers houses,he said that there was no use talking to the CM who did not even meet the delegation.
He further questioned why the Indian courts were taking up subjects like gay-marriages,deciding that love is not a crime and taunting or passing remarks is not an harassment. I laid foundation stones for the BWSL and the Mumbai-Pune road. They have now been given names of Rajiv Gandhi and Yashwantrao Chavan. They were to be named after P L Deshpande and Vir Sawarkar,those name boards seen now should not be seen, said Thackeray.
