This is not the first attempt to coerce citizens by diverse organizations
acquiesced in by the State
of Maharashtra at the highest levels. A complant lodged with the State of
Maharashtra Law and Home
Departments and with the Police by a citizen from Pune on the editorial
written in Saamna against Mr. Hemant
Karkare, Jt. Commission of Police Mumbai ( A Marathi Manoos )which prima facie
constituted a threat and
which appeared on the morning of 26/11 the day he was assassinated, has not
been investigated till date .
Saamna is merely the mouth piece of the diverse financial interest groups
Indian and foreign who attempt to
control Mumbai with the help of the underworld to involve Indian society in
diversionary issues against the
unity and integrity of the country .Organizations are created and floated as
per the immediate interest to
be met, some time in the name of the Shiv Sena and its new adjunct , sometimes
the Indian Mujahideen ,
Al Qaeda , Indian Fidayeen etc. etc

An Open Letter to the Maharashtra Chief Minister
The Chief Minister
Maharashtra
Dear Mr Ashok Chavan,
Every society gives enough warning signals before turning totally anti
democratic and fascist in nature. If we go back in history we will find that
even in fascist Germany the first attack came on the freedom of expression of
artists and intellectuals. It is very natural as the struggle for peace,
democracy, secular thought, justice and communal harmony is waged by sensitive
and creative people. The dream of an equal and just society has always been
projected by either the mass movements of ordinary poor and marginalized
people, secular political forces, human rights activists or has been portrayed
by artists, poets, film makers, theatre directors etc. So those people whose
agenda and preoccupation is to spread hatred and disharmony always attack the
artists, activists, intellectuals and thinkers.
Unfortunately in the past we have ignored these danger signals and violent
acts thus allowing the perpetrators of hate mongering not only to go scot free
but also to further vitiate the atmosphere.
What has been happening in Maharashtra the past few months is absolutely
shocking and is an attack on the democratic rights of the citizens of not only
Maharashtra but all Indians.
I am writing to you as a member of the National Integration Council, Ministry
of Home Affairs and I request you to immediately take steps to ensure that the
goondaism unleashed by the Shiv Sena and MNS is stopped immediately.
I request you to ensure that Shahrukh Khan, Aamir Khan , whose effigies were
burnt in Mumbai and especially Shahrukh Khan, who has received threats in the
past few days, are given adequate security, that there is no disturbance when
their films are released or screened in theaters. I request you to ensure that
no taxi driver or auto rickshaw driver is harassed for not knowing or speaking
Marathi (its good that you backtracked on January 20 from a similar
unconstitutional stand on the question of issuing licenses to the taxi drivers)
and that their constitutional and democratic rights of working or living in
any part of India are not violated by Shiv Sena hoodlums on the roads.
The kind of filthy language which is being used and threats which are being
issued against the senior leaders of your own party are absolutely unacceptable
and need to be condemned strongly.
I request you to urgently arrest and prosecute those who are behind the
recent incidents.
Sincerely yours
Shabnam Hashmi
Member, National Integration Council, MHA
CC Home Minister, GOVT of India
