Ayesha Takia is very angry with Raj Thackeray and his MNS MLAs who attacked her father-in-law Abu Asim on the floor of the Maharashtra Assembly when he took oath in Hindi.

“I am shocked and disgusted by the behavior of Raj Thackeray and his people,” she lashes out on a social networking site.

“The way they behaved with Abu Azmi during today’s swearing-in was really unbelievable and disgusting. How can we ever feel safe in a place where gundas are allowed to behave as they please,” she asks.

Talking about her cosmopolitan upbringing, she says, “We live in love and respect each other irrespective of caste and language, so why are goondas like Raj Thackeray and his cronies are allowed to break and kill our peace? My grandfather was Marathi and my granny British. My father is Gujarati and my husband Muslim.”

The CM of Maharashtra Ashok Chavan and all other good intentioned people condemned the attack. Four MLA’s of the MNS were suspended from the house for about 4 years after the incident.

“Our other leaders including the chief minister and other parties must unite and kick out Raj Thackeray and MNS and the law must take action. I am proud of our country that quick action has been taken and all four MNS MLAs have been suspended for four years,” Ayesha states.
