Many in the national capital cheered the arrest of Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray Tuesday, though there were fears his "thugs" would let loose a reign of terror against innocent people in Maharashtra from outside the state.
While many people in Delhi, mostly from Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, wondered why a person who believes in "divisive" politics was allowed to roam free and create rift in a democratic country like India, many said what he was doing was no less than terrorism.
Thackeray, whose supporters Sunday attacked non-Maharashtrians appearing for a railway recruitment examination, was arrested from Maharashtra's Ratnagiri town early Tuesday.
An angry Zia-ur-Rehman, 29, who is in Delhi but is based in Mumbai, blamed the Congress, which is in power in Maharashtra in coalition with the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), equally for the rising clout of MNS.
"It's all politically motivated. The Congress is also responsible for all that is being done by MNS in Maharashtra. It is said that no one is above law then why was he allowed to spit venom for all these days?" said Rehman, who works in Mumbai.
Rehman, who is from Siwan in Bihar, said: "What Raj Thackeray has been doing is no less then terrorism. It's terrorism in broad daylight and that too in front of police and administration. Although he has been arrested, people from north India are afraid of its repercussions."
