Mumbai: The Samajwadi
Party Wednesday filed a police complaint here against Maharashtra
Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray for his allegedly
derogatory remarks against state party chief Abu Asim Azmi.
The party also dared Thackeray to prove his allegations, made
during a rally at Azad Maidan here Tuesday, that there were lakhs
of Bangladeshis living in Azmi's Bhiwandi constituency in the
adjoining Thane district.
The police complaint against Thackeray was given by the Samajwadi
Party youth wing chief Syed Zakirhussain Chand to Azad Maidan
police for using allegedly derogatory language against Azmi.
Addressing reporters, Azmi said: "I shall give him (Thackeray) two
crore rupees if he shows even one lakh Bangladeshis or Pakistanis
living in Bhiwandi."
He even displayed an account-payee cheque of Rs.2 crore drawn in
favour of Thackeray on Citizen Credit Co-Operative Bank Ltd,
jointly signed by him and another signatory.
Azmi dared Thackeray to prove his charges or quit politics. "I
shall quit politics if he can prove his charge. If not, then he
must quit."
He said that police should take action against the MNS for taking
out the Tuesday procession from Girgaum Chowpatty to Azad Maidan
though it had not been permitted.
Referring to Thackeray displaying at Tuesday's rally a purported
Bangladeshi passport which was found from Azad Maidan after the
Aug 11 Muslim groups' procession, and then throwing it away, Azmi
demanded an inquiry into the matter.
"Throwing away the passport is a serious offence and must be
probed," Azmi urged.
He congratulated Mumbai Police Commissioner Arup Patnaik and his
team for exercising restraint during the Aug 11 procession by
Muslim groups against Assam riots, which turned violent and left
two dead.
Azmi claimed that the Aug 11 incident was the handiwork of the
drugs mafia and that the other culprits involved in it had joined
the procession much later.
