Bringing Islam to knees in India my dream: Thackeray
MUMBAI: Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray has said he dreams of a ââ¬ÅHindustan of Hindusââ¬Â that would bring ââ¬ÅIslam in this country down to its kneesââ¬Â. Addressing a massive rally at the Shiv Sena stronghold of Shivaji Park, Thackeray said, ââ¬ÅIt is my dream that we create a Hindustan of the Hindus. Maharashtrians or Punjabis alone cannot fight against Islam. That is why I appeal to all Hindus to break the linguistic wall around them and come together so that we can bring Islam in this country down to its knees.ââ¬Â
In his 20-minute speech, the 81-year-old Thackeray paused several times and delivered the speech sitting. Dressed in an all-white robe, he was accompanied by his son and Sena Executive President Uddhav. Thackeray, who addressed the rally in an effort to boost the prospects of the Sena-BJP combine at Mumbai civic polls on February 1, also had words of praise for Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi, describing him as ââ¬Åa staunch Hinduââ¬Â. ââ¬ÅIf the reaction of the Babri Masjid demolition could reach Mumbai in the form of riots, then there is nothing wrong if the wave of the Godhra incident reached Ahmedabad. It was a spontaneous reaction and there is nothing wrong with that,ââ¬Â Thackeray said. sana
