Thane, Jun 29: Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray surrendered before railway police here Monday in connection with a case of inciting violence against north Indian students appearing for a railway recruitment exam in October last year.

He surrendered before Kalyan Railway Police as per an order of the Bombay High Court and was immediately put under arrest, an MNS worker said.

Thousands of MNS supporters thronged Kalyan in Thane district, 80 km from the state capital Mumbai, and police deployed massive security to ward off any trouble.

The high court had last week cancelled the anticipatory bail by a Kalyan court in the matter and ordered Thackeray to surrender by June-end.

Shortly after his surrender, Thackeray's lawyers moved for bail. It is expected to come up for hearing in the afternoon at the Kalyan court.

    This is the drawback and sad face of our democracy. Every dirty politician in our country is acting as if the whole or part of India is their ancestral property. They dont consider rest of Indians as Indians and call them by different names like, Indian christians, Indian muslims, madrasis, biharis, gujaratis, sindhis, etc to suit their convenience and ignorant people follow the leader like sheep herds. In India, people and personal adoration is more than the ideological adoration. We need to reform our judiciary and democratic set up.

    All Indians should be treated equally and only reservation, if at all is to be given, it should be given based on economic factors and performance. All reservations and appeasement starting with minorities must be stopped and people should be given equal opporutnities purely based on merit and not based on lingusitic or religious minorities. Time has come where constitutional amendement is need of the hour.

    Why do we blame Australians for the racist attacks, while here in our own country we are beaten up if we venture into another city and branded outsiders. Mumbai what it is today is because of outsiders. With development you get mass immigration. In today''s India it happens in all big cities like Delhi, Chennai, Bangalore, Calcutta, Hyderabad etc. Raj Thackaray here is only trying to score political points. Any citizen of India is free to move wherever he or she wants and there should be no restrictions on the movement of people anywhere in the country. You want the money generated in businesses by outsiders, you want the jobs created by outsiders by their setting up of industries, you want knowledge and expertise brought in by outsiders, but you do not want the difficulties and challenges that growth brings.

    If the Indians are violent against Indians what the citizens can expect violence against Indians outside/foreign countries?

    Though violence is not acceptable in any form, I agree with Mr.Raj Thakray that locals needs to be given preference over outsiders in the matter of jobs and educational facilites. No doubt this crusade against outsiders would soon reach all prosperous states in India. Instead of blaming Mr.Raj Thakarey and pouncing on him, why cannot UP & Bihar Govt create more jobs through industrialisation and by harnessing local skills in cottage & Small industries development..

    Government has to provide for better and allround education including various languages and employment opportunities in every state so there is no such problem. The root cause of the problem has to be addressed urgently.

    The best way to stop unbridled migration is to promote industries locally. We cannot have arbitrary constitution amendments. In order to do this the infrastructure has to be developed and then we can attract investors.

    Mr. Raj Thakeray may have been wrong to incite violence against North Indian migrants. But which city in another state would remain silent when it is bursting at its seams with migrants? A suitable amendment needs to be made to the Indian Constitution to check the unbridled migration into any city.
