NEW DELHI: A Delhi-based lawyer has filed a complaint against Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray before a trial court for allegedly branding Bihar natives in Mumbai as infiltrators.
The complaint, filed by an advocate Prem Shankar Sharma, said Thackeray’s remarks, also threatening Bihar natives to throw them out of Maharashtra, is provocative and an anti-national statement.
He sought registration of an FIR against him.
“Thackeray’s remarks that Bihar natives who have been living in Maharasthr shall be kicked out from Maharashtra were defaming and that his provocative statement is against national integration as the Indian Constitution has given the right to any person to live anywhere in the country peacefully,” said Sharma in his complaint.
