Bollywood actress and Samajwadi Party chief Abu Azmi's daughter-in-law Ayesha Takia has lashed out at Raj Thakarey and his party, Maharashtra Navnirman Sena(MNS) for attacking Azmi in the Maharashtra Assembly for taking oath in Hindi.
"The way they behaved with Abu Azmi during swearing-in was really unbelievable and disgusting. How can we ever feel safe in a place where gundas are allowed to behave as they please? This is a cosmopolitan place and we should all be able to live peacefully together," said Ayesha Takia.
"I love this city and we all do, so how does it matter if we say Bombay or Mumbai? If action isn't taken on this incident, then how can we ever feel like the law exists?,"she added.
"I'm shocked and disgusted by the behavior of Raj Thackeray and his people. Hindi, Marathi, English and any of our languages are allowed while taking the oath. If action isn't taken against Raj Thackarey and MNS, then we will never feel like a democracy again," said the actress.
"Why are gundas like Raj Thackeray allowed to break and kill our peace? Our other respected leaders including the chief minister and other parties must unite and kick out Raj Thackeray and MNS and law must take action. If action isn't taken, this will be the beginning of breaking the peace. We live in love and respect each other irrespective of cast and language," she concluded.
