486 signatures so far! Petition created by: Amri The Shiv Sena are criminals with political clout. Does that mean they get away with the following >? -Regionalism: They targeted South Indians by inflammatory slogans like"yendu gundu" (a derogatory description of Dravidian languages).Shiv Sainiks also launched a string of attacks on the South-Indian owned Udupi restaurants.Thackeray later targeted Gujaratis, Marwaris, Biharis, and other Muslims from states like Uttar Pradesh ('UPites') through his speeches. -In 2004 the Shiv Sena attempted to disrupt India and Pakistan from playing cricket in Delhi.As part of their efforts to hamper any collaboration between the two countries, Shiv Sainiks have resorted to damaging cricket pitches at scheduled match venues. The two most prominent instances are the destruction of the pitch at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium in 1991 and the vandalizing of the Feroz Shah Kotla Grounds pitch Delhi in 1999 -On February 8, 2006, the Sena's student wing, attacked the office of Zee TV, ransacking and damaging the office. The attack came in response to a satirical skit titled 'Kaka mala Vachva' (Marathi for 'Uncle, protect me'), staged during the awards function hosted by the channel at the Bandra-Kurla complex. The skit was reportedly a comment on the power tussle within the Thackeray family, which ultimately resulted in the exit of Thackeray's nephew Raj from the party. -Shiv Sena activists have attacked shops in Mumbai selling gifts for Valentine's Day as part of the party's campaign against 'vulgar' western influences on youth. -In 1998, Shiv Sainiks attacked movie theatres in Mumbai screening Deepa Mehta's Fire, a film based on a lesbian theme, on the grounds that such films were immoral for Hindus.The screening of the movie was withdrawn. Later, members of the Sena's Varanasi branch launched aggressive protests against the filming of Mehta's Water, on the grounds that such films were made to intentionally portray Varanasi and other holy cities in a negative light.The location for shooting was shifted then to Sri Lanka. -The offices of Hindi and Marathi TV news channels IBN-7 and IBN-Lokmat in Mumbai and Pune were attacked and vandalised by Shiv Sena activists on 20 November 2009.Shiv Sena attributed the attacks to the criticism of Thackeray by the news channel over his remarks on Sachin Tendulkar. Shiv Sena Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Raut described the attacks as "spontaneous",along with various Shiv Sena spokespersons justifying them. -If three words can bring a nation to it's feet, they've got to be 'Shah Rukh Khan'. And his safety and integrity has come under the scanner. One of our highest taxpayers, someone who put Bollywood on the global map in a big way, SRK has been 'ordered' out of the country. His latest movie 'My name is Khan' is suffering, because of attacks and random instances of extreme vandalism. Theatres are being damaged, production houses ransacked and movie screenings disrupted. Look up the definition of a terrorist and ask yourself what Shiv Sainiks can be classified as. THEY DON'T OWN MUMBAI. THEY DON'T OWN MAHARASHTRA. THEY DON'T OWN INDIA. INDIA IS AS MUCH FOR MUSLIMS, CHRISTIANS, SIKHS AND EVERY OTHER RELIGIOUS GROUP AS IT IS FOR HINDUS. Don't let them cripple YOUR voice. Don't let them own YOU. Stand for India. Stand for Indians. Stand for sanity, peace and freedom. CALL FOR A BAN ON THE SHIV SENA 486 have signed so far - help us get to 10,000,000.  We have achieved 0% of our goal. Let's keep going! Sign the petition! Details, Impact and Progress We must start somewhere, and we all can not only make a difference, but BE the difference. I don't know how many people will sign this, and I don't really know how many people care, so I'm not looking at garnering numbers here. And if you have a heart that's crying to set Mumbai free, neither should you. Sign this. Make it big. We'll take it to the media. We'll make it a pressing public demand. Our government is ours. They'll HAVE to listen. Comments Note: This service is provided as a service to TakingITGlobal Members. This petition does not necessarily represent the views of TakingITGlobal as an organization. |
