Abu Azmi Ayesha Takia lashes out at Raj Thackeray
Ayesha Takia’s father-in-law,
Member of Legislative Assembly (MLA) Abu Asim Azmi was physically abused by a
MLA of the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) during his swearing in ceremony on
Monday in Mumbai. The ruckus happened when MLA Abu Asim Azmi started taking his
oath in Hindi, in spite of
the pledge in Marathi.
Deeply
hurt and shocked by the aggressive behavior of MNS with Abu Azmi,
daughter-in-law Ayesha Takia Azmi lashed out on MNS whole and soul Raj Thackeray
and his party. “I am shocked and disgusted by the behaviour of Raj
Thackeray and his people. 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
want?”
Reacting on the restriction on
language she says, “I love this city and we all do so how does it matter
if we say Bombay or Mumbai? My grandfather was Marathi and my granny is British,
my father Gujrati and my husband Muslim. I have always been cosmopolitan and
don’t see why in this day and age it matters who belongs to what
language.”
Criticizing
language war Ayesha said, “Hindi Marathi English and any of our languages
are allowed while taking the oath. We live in love and respect each other
irrespective of cast and language. So why are gundas like Raj Thackeray and
others allowed to break and kill our
peace?”
Being a
responsible citizen she requests chief minister and other parties to take action
again this. “Our other respected leaders including the chief minister and
other parties must unite and kick out Raj Thackeray and MNS. Law must take
action. If action isn’t taken then this will be the beginning of breaking
the peace!” She signs off.
