New Delhi, April 08: Shiv Sena on Tuesday demanded in Vidhan Sabha that legislation should be made to make it mandatory for all outsiders to carry an identity proof with them in Mumbai.

They also called for proof of identity to be produced for verification while entering Maharashtra.

Shiv Sena which has been targeting North Indians, including celebrities like Manoj Bajpayee and Amitabh Bachchan, has now reverted to this demand of making ID proofs mandatory for the outsiders for better profiling.

It must be remembered that only a few months ago a similar decision was taken by the Delhi Lieutenant Governor Tejendra Khanna for making it obligatory for citizens to carry an identity proof with them for security reasons in the capital.

However it could not materialize due to widespread protests from political parties and citizens’ forums.

BAL THACKERAYS FATHER CHANGED HIS SURNAME BECAUSE HE IDOLISED WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY, A BRITISH POLITICIAN. ALL THESE FUCKING THACKERAYS SHOULD CHANGE THEIR SURNAME BEFORE THEY THOUGHT OF CHANGING BOMBAY TO MUMBAI. MOTHERFUCKERS - CHESSE AND RICE - BOMBAY

maharashtra has companies which produce goods only because these products are consumed all over India by Indians. If Indians stop consuming products/services of maharashtra companies, then these cos would all be worthless and no jobs would be there here. Hence its totally logical that Indians be allowed to work in these companies as its India where their goods/serivces are being sold -sanjay - mumbai

MNS & Shiv Sena thuggish leaders are cynical, power crazy nutters who will sell their grandmother to get to power.An Indian can stay anywhere in the country.The Marathi Manoos brigade need a bloddy good kicking up their backside. -Hriday - London

MNS is a bunch of crooks, living in 20th century and yet to understand what a "cosmopolitan" city means. The central government should take strong exception to remarks like these which disrupt the plural fabric of Indian democracy. The rights granted to all citizens of India to choose their place of residence cannot be challenged by these thugs - especially Raj Thackeray who seems to have the IQ of a potato. -Sumit - New Delhi

bal thakare and his nephew raj,both are bastards,and they should be killed asap by the wise peoples . -vinay - delhi

"Outsiders" in India are those who claim to be Hindus and speak all languages other than Sanskrit.May I know why or with what Intentions is Shiv Sena using the name of "Lord Shiva".Does the Shiv Sena members follow all that is written down in Vedas and follow hinduism in the perfect manner.First of all shiv sena has no right to use that name and they should rebrand themselves as "Maratha/Marathi Sena".Now when you use names like "shiv sena" you should behave like one.Do not insult Hinduism by calling yourself Hindus and bringing up Marathi/Other language logics. -Seshu - Hyderabad

This is exactly what Hitler did. Lets do it. Way to go. I don know where do these ideas emerge from, may be its not the brain. -Krishna - India

Perhaps something like an arm-band with star of David would soothe the jingoists... -ashutosh - Bangalore
