Maharashtra was facing similar problems as the UK, which pulled out of the European Union as \u201coutsiders\u201d were taking away jobs leading to unemployment among locals, MNS chief Raj Thackeray has said, using Brexit to queer the pitch against migrants.<\/p>\n
The Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief said \u201cMarathi Manoos\u201d in the state were losing out to \u201coutsiders\u201d. The problem was prevalent across the world but whenever he raised the issue, he was labelled narrow-minded, he told a gathering here on Saturday.<\/p>\n
\u201cEngland pulled out from the European Union (EU) out of anger, as locals there were not getting jobs. They also have no work like Maharashtrian youth, as \u2018outsiders\u2019 had grabbed all the opportunities,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The MNS thrives on an anti-migrant agenda and has on numerous occasions targeted people from outside the state, especially east India, and their businesses. A few weeks ago Thackeray even called for setting on fire autorickshaws, alleging most of the licences were given to \u201coutsiders\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have jobs in Maharashtra but outsiders are getting them. They are also getting admission in educational institutions depriving our children of their rights,\u201d Thackeray said.<\/p>\n
Britain\u2019s shock decision to exit the EU has set the country on an uncertain path, dealt a huge blow to the European Union and rattled the markets world over. The \u201cleave\u201d campaign had ratcheted up anti-immigrant rhetoric in the run-up to the last week\u2019s vote but has since climbed down on it.<\/p>\n
Local children should get priority in jobs and education and what is left could be shared with \u201cothers\u201d, Thackeray said. \u201c\u2026Then India is my country and all Indians are my brother and sisters, \u2018\u2019 the MNS chief said, mocking a popular pledge schoolchildren recite.<\/p>\n
The rhetoric is expected to get shriller as the state moves closer to civic body elections due in 2017.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
