White shirt: I have come because... those who create riots under the name of caste and creed... the Marathi vs UP riots that are there... the riots are just for agitating the people.. people like Raj Thackerey don't know what is needed for the development of people. They use people to their advantage for garnering votes. We are against that. Hence we ask for raj thackerey's party to be banned.
People speak up against Raj Thackerey and MNS.
White dress: Raj Thackerey is acting like a goon. We oppose this very strongly. This has been going on for 36 years in our country. Raj Thackerey has resorted only to violence. The Marathi people for whom they give assurance, in fact they do nothing for them.
