Latest from Raj: reserve 80% jobs in pvt firms for Maharashtrians

SocialTwist Tell-a-Friend

Weeks after targeting North Indian migrants, Raj Thackeray's Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) has raked up the son-of-the soil issue, demanding 80 per cent job reservation for Marathi-speaking locals in the private sector and warning "we know how to explain" if this is not done.

Since Sunday, the MNS has been delivering letters by hand to private companies in and around Mumbai. The party said around 100 companies, mostly call centres and security firms, have already been approached in the suburbs of Mumbai (Vile Parle, Malad and Juhu), Pune, Nashik, Igatpuri and Vidarbha. In the coming days, the MNS plans to approach 44,000 companies.

Manoj Chavan, chief of the Maharashtra Navnirman Kaamgar Sena, said members are personally "hand-delivering the letters" and meeting company officials. "It is just a cordial reminder to the industries and the trade sector. If they don't respond, we know how to explain to them in our own way," he said.

In the letter, the MNS says a job candidate must have a 15-year Maharashtra domicile certificate which it claims is also the policy of the state government. "This rule is being violated openly and the MNS has complaints regarding the matter".

Raj is a low life! he is trying to divide and rule! he wants to create racial tensions, people be ware of such 3rd class Goondas!
Anyone, who tries to benefit from divisive politics deserves to be stripped off the priviliges by the EC. There are other non violent ways to safe gaurd the interests of the common people of Maharashtra!
Raj Thackeray - Shame, Shame - Puppy Shame on you! grow up and if you can try and be a true leader!
