            says he has no enmity with Indian Muslims

              Mumbai: Shiv Sena 
              chief Bal Thackeray Tuesday said he was not against Indian Muslims 
              but those from outside. 
               
              In the second part of his interview to party mouthpiece 'Saamna', 
              Thackeray emphatically said he had no complaints, grudge or enmity 
              with the Muslims of India. 
               
              His ire, he said, was directed only against those coming from 
              outside the country and creating problems here. 
               
              "I have no grudge or enmity against the Muslims who have been 
              living here since generations. My objection is to those who have 
              sneaked into the country from outside. They should be caught and 
              lynched or kicked out," he said. 
               
              Thackeray cited Muslims from Pakistan and Bangladesh in this 
              context. 
               
              "They come and incite our Muslims. In the Konkan region (of 
              coastal Maharashtra), the extremist elements who have sneaked in 
              from outside are influencing our Konkani Muslims and spoiling 
              them," he said. 
               
              Similarly, he said Muslims who help outsiders should also be 
              considered equally guilty.
