"WHATEVER I have said, I said from my heart and #8230; I'll keep saying what I want to, no matter what," said Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) president Raj Thackeray. Thackeray's tirade against north Indians came in full swing at a get-together of party workers in Thane at the Ram Ganesh Gadkari Rangayatan on Saturday.

"Now I have received another notice. The walls of my house are covered with such notices," said Thackeray, adding "people from other states come here and make so many remarks but they don't receive any such notices.

" Speaking about the voting rights of people from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, Thackeray said, "These people have voting rights in Maharashtra and in their respective states too. Why should they have voting rights in two states?" he asked.

Thackeray added that it is not just he who was against north Indians and said that other states too did not want them. "Whether in Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Orissa, West Bengal and #8230; none of these states wants people from UP and Bihar," said Thackeray.

He advised those gathered at the Rangayatan to converse in Marathi . "Your language is your astitva (identity) and your language is Marathi.

You should be proud of it," he said. He added that he would continue to fighting for the rights and pride of the Marathi manoos.

Many workers from the Congress, Shiv Sena and the Bharatiya Janata Party joined Raj's party on Saturday.
