This
article in Times of India makes one wonder why TOI is behaving like the
English mouth piece of Shiv Sena, The article does not serve any
purpose except hurting the sentiments of the Muslim community. Because
of these kind of Media Coverage and publicity do criminals and
hooligans like Bal Thackray, Raj Thackray and Pramod Mutalik become
heoroes overnight and succesfully spread there venom in the society.
FRENCH CONNECTION ‘Sarkozy is tagdaa

Mumbai:
Nicolas Sarkozy is a ‘tagdaa manoos’ (strong man), says Shiv Sena
supremo Bal Thackeray, because the French president spoke his mind on
the burqa issue.
In a leader comment in Sena mouthpiece
‘Saamna’ on Monday, Thackeray, complimented Sarkozy for his “bold and
courageous’’ comments that burqa was not a religious sign, but a sign
of subservience. “It is heartening to note that Sarkozy has upheld his
nation’s interests. He did not fall prey to the vote-bank politics,’’
said the Saamna editorial. Thackeray said Sarkozy showed no
consideration to the “regressive Muslim clergy’’ in his country. “He
told the Muslim leaders in no uncertain terms that they will have to
fully and completely adhere to the laws of France. India’s woes will
end if we get someone like Sarkozy as our head.’’
“Half of
India’s leaders are in such poor health that we will have to look for
proper space for their memorial,’’ the editorial said.
‘Saamna’
condemned Indian Muslim leaders for raising a bogey of ‘Islam khatre
mein hai’ every time the government makes an attempt to reform laws.
“They will say that their religion is in danger even if Ajmal Kasab is
sent to the gallows.’’
