Thakare politics ?

                          Dalip Singh Wasan, Advocate.

         It had been in news in India that Thakare family wants that none from other states should come to Mumbai and all workers in mills and at other places should be selected and appointed from amongst the people of Maharashtra.  Most of the labour which had been from other states has already left Mumbai because their life was at stake and now in a recent event the people from the side of Thakare family attacked students who were appearing in some railway examination.  so many candidates had been injured and one of them has died because of these injuries.

              The decision of Thakare family is anti India because we are declaring that India is one and all the citizens living in all the states are at liberty to work in any state and there is no ban on them.  We are claiming that we are one nation and we would not like those who are trying to create hate  amongst the people from different states.  We have created and established these states just administrative units and in fact we are not bifurcating this country.  All the states are parts of this land and we are declaring that there shall be no discrimination on the basis of religion, caste, colour, creed and sex and when these events happen in a state, our faith is in difficulty and that is the reason, people are demanding that the state must take action against Thakare family.

    What shall be the result, we shall have to see in the near future.  At present Raj Thakare is facing legal action and some people believe otherwise.  But we must have faith in our law and we must wait that the people who are in the wrong and are disturbing the peace of the country or are bifurcating the country shall be punished as per provisions of law.    The minorities in India are of the view that the people from the Thakare family shall not be punished because they belong to the majority community in India.  Had such an action been taken by a person from the minorities, he would have been behind the bar or some people who could be the supporter could have been killed or arrested as had been done in the state of  Punjab when a section had initiated some action in favour of the Sikhs.

                 We must have an introspection and we must see that such occasions should be avoided.  If Thakare family wins this battle, then such action shall be started in other states and Punjab shall be the first where thousands of people are coming and being accommodated.  People from Himachal Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Bihar, Nepal and Haryana are coming in Punjab and are trying to settle here.  so many have settled in the state of Punjab and are living a happy life.  Bal Thakare and Raj thakare must know and note this position in the state of Punjab.  They must stop the present movement and must allow all from all the states to come to Mumbai and live there.  We are one and we must show that we are one.  These movements are danger to the unity and integrity of India.
