After putting the Indian democracy to shame in the Maharashtra Assembly, Raj Thackeray’s Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) has racked up the Marathi issue again. The pro-Marathi party has now written to the general manager of nation’s largest public sector bank.the State Bank of India (SBI) threatening him not to allow non-Marathis to sit for job openings in the bank’s Maharashtra branches.MNS has in the past also created ruckus at several examination centres by beating up non-Marathi applicants. The party had earlier demanded reservations for Marathis in all the jobs in Maharashtra.In the recently concluded Maharashtra Assembly Elections the Raj Thackeray-led party won 13 seats. Four of party MLAs were soon suspended from the House after they opposed Samajwadi Party’s Abu Azmi’s decision to take oath in Hindi language against their wish. The altercation later saw MNS MLAs beating Azmi in the Assembly making a mockery of Indian democracy.
