Bal Thackeray threatens nationwide violence after prosecution order
BOMBAY, July 16 : India’s most feared militant Hindu leader Bal Thackeray warned today of nationwide violence if he was prosecuted over antiMuslim riots which followed the 1992 razing of a mosque by Hindu zealots, reports AFP.
The warning came as supporters of his Shiv Sena (Shivaji's Army) party went on the rampage in Bombay, the capital of the western Indian state of Maharashtra, to enforce a city-wide shut-down to protest at the proposed prosecution.
Thackeray wrote in his party newspaper Saamna (Encounter) on Sunday that his arrest would trigger unprecedented violence.
"Not only Maharashtra, India could burn. This is a landmine which will have Ignited.” Thackeray said. "This is a call for a religious riots and everybody should prepare for the consequences."
Chagan Bhujbal, deputy chief minister of western Maharashtra state, said on Saturday his government had given the green light to authorities to prosecute Thackeray, whose Shiv Send party was blamed fdr 5 the 1992 carnage.
More than 2,000 people, mostly Muslims, were killed in countrywide rioting that erupted following the December 6. 1992 destruction of the 16th-century Babri Mosque in the northern town of Ayodhaya.
The sectarian violence was
followed by a string of bomb attacks In Bombay on March 12. 1993. More than 300 people died In the blasts, blamed on a Muslim backlash over the rioting
Thackeray, a self-confessed admirer of Adolf Hitler, said Bhujbal had "Ignited the fuse of a landmine."
"By taking this step, the government has proved that it Is a crime to take a nationalist stand and oppose anti-national elements." Thackeray said, referring to India's minority Muslim community.
"Bhujbal has chosen to regurgitate an eight-year-old issue. I am not prepared to go to jail because of this man. If one governs in such a vengeful manner one should be prepared for the consequences as well."
Bombay's police control room said Shiv Sena ac tivists had fanned out across the city of 12 million people on Sunday to enforce a shut-down.
"They are forcing shopkeepers to down shutters and are deflating tyres of public buses. People are being hauled out of cars to bring traffic to a standstill." a police spokesman* said 1 ’
Although he held no official post, the 73-year-old Thackeray was the uncrowned monarch of a coalition government between the Sena and Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee's BJP party in Maharashtara, which was routed in assembly elections.
