Nasik: Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) has threatened not to allow trains coming from north India in Maharashtra if the north Indian leaders do not refrain from allegedly "provocative" speeches.
MNS leader Vasant Gite accused north Indian leaders of being responsible for the ongoing problems in Mumbai and other parts of the state with their "provocative" speeches.
The MNS corporator warned such "provocative" speeches like distributing lathis will not be tolerated.
Earlier, state Samajwadi Party chief Abu Azmi had said that "we will distribute lathis to north Indians".
Gite said "we have no objection if outsiders coming to Maharashtra to earn their livelihoods but they should behave well and should love and respect the state where they earn and prosper".
Meanwhile, Samajwadi Party state unit general secretary and city President Mushir Sayyed said SP would give a befitting reply if anyone dared to attack north Indians.
"I am proud of Maharashtra and it's wrong to create a rift between the people by indulging in regionalism just to gain political mileage".
