Communist Party of India ( ML) national general secretary Dipankar Bhattacharya at a convention of the All India Students' Association (AISA) and other students' organizations in Patna on Monday demanded restrictive measures on Raj Thackeray's Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) and Shiv Sena describing the two outfits as 'extremely dangerous' for the unity of the nation.
Bhattacharya, at the Bhartiya Nritya Kala Mandir meet, said that students and migrant labors from Bihar and other north Indian states were routinely being targeted by the Shiv Sena and MNS extremists in Maharashtra.
"This poses a serious threat to the nation and strong prohibitive measures must be imposed on them to stop them from growing any further," the CPI-ML leader said.
Bhattacharya also blasted the Railway Minister and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) president Lalu Prasad Yadav and Janata Dal (U) MPs for grandstanding on Maharashtra issue. "Everyone is busy staging 'nautanki' but no one really is doing anything to demand a ban on such extremist outfits," he said.
"It is rather surprising that even the Prime Minister and the President of India are also mum on this issue," Bhattacharya said.
Kundan Singh, the father of Rahul Raj who was recently shot dead in a police encounter in Mumbai, Patna University Economic head of the department Dr. Nawal Kishore Chowdhary and a number of other leftist leaders were present at the convention.
