Raj Thackeray slams Asha Bhosle, slaps killer Ajmal Kasab link on her


1983-2011

Recommended Posts

Launching a blistering attack against veteran singer Asha Bhosle, Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray today slammed her and said that she should have rejected the offer of working with Pakistani singers. "Asha Bhosle says 'atithi devo bhava'. Why did she not say this when Ajmal Kasab was arrested? She should have refused the offer of working with Pakistani singers," he said, addressing a party office bearers meet here today. "Pakistan and Bangladesh are aiming to destroy our country and she makes artistes from Pakistan big," he said. Saying that he respects Asha Bhosle, Raj said, "She should be guiding us, but instead, she is making us guide her. She should tell us the real reason (for signing for the TV reality show), whether it is 'atithi devo bhava' or 'paisa devo bhava'," Raj said. He questioned the need to pamper Pakistani artistes when India had talented artistes. "There is no dearth of talented artists in India. Pamper them and make them big," he said. Raj also criticised Colors TV channel for broadcasting the show and said, "Colors channel is doing this for increasing its TRPs". Warning Colors and other television channels to avoid including Pakistani artistes in their TV shows, he said, "If any channel goes ahead with such programmes and if anything happens to their offices, the government will be responsible for it," he stated. http://www.indianexpress.com/news/raj-thackeray-slams-asha-bhosle-slaps-killer-ajmal-kasab-link-on-her/995924/

Will the Congress-NCP (preventively) arrest Mr Raj Thakeray for this open threat? NOT A CHANCE IN HELL!! When the state govt is busy playing politics to divide SS vote for the sole aim of getting re-elected, this kind of drama will get repeated over and over again.

Thats where the Political dynamics of Maharashtra come into play - the last time Raj Thackrey was arrested, he got more political mileage in a week than any amount of money could have gotten him in an year. Now tell me - which Govt will make that mistake twice??

^ AB is a 'bhaiyya' for MNS/SS supporters and is seen as the reason for the millions of UP/Biharis rushing to the city over the decades with a dream in their eyes. Asha Bhonse is on the other hand a symbol of pride for the same public and should be a harder sell. Should be interesting. :popcorn:

Yeah, Asha tai, as Maharastrians fondly call her, is dearer to Marathi people than Raj Thackray.
