Why make a self-fool moulding unsound comparisons? Violence at JNU reminds MH CM of Mumbai terror attacks

Mumbai, January 06: All in the goodwill to Congress party's moves that blatantly blamed the ruling BJP government for JNU voilence, Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray also on Monday arrantly amped up attacks on the BJP-led central government over the brutal assault against students and teachers of Jawaharlal Nehru University, again illogically comparing the attacks by masked vandals armed with sticks and rod to the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks when 10 terrorists had fired indiscriminately at people in 2008.
“The violence at JNU is a resounding reminder of the November 26 terror attacks in Mumbai. Those who carried out these attacks, hiding their faces behind masks, are cowards. They must be identified, nabbed and punished for their crimes,” the chief minister addressed a forum at his residence ‘Matoshree’ in Bandra in Mumbai.
“It will become clear if this was a sponsored attack. Things will become clear one by one. It is the government’s job to investigate and take action,” he said, shortly after Congress president Sonia Gandhi issued a statement on the violence that blamed the ruling BJP government for the violence.
People behind masks should be brought forward and be punished.

Reaching out to the students of Maharashtra, Thackeray assured them that such an incident will not happen in the state. “This will not be tolerated in Maharashtra. What is happening elsewhere is inappropriate. No student from Maharashtra should be afraid", he said adding that the security in Maharashtra’s universities will be increased if the government notices that there is a need to do so.
“Everything will be done to ensure students in Maharashtra are safe. I assure them that they are safe. No one can touch even a single hair on their head. The law will stand by them and take strict action against law breakers,” he noted terming the violence at JNU on Sunday night a ‘blot on our country’.
I want to assure the youth of Maharashtra that I won’t let anything happen to them & they are completely safe. There will be serious repercussions if anyone tries to repeat what happened last night in the JNU campus in Maharashtra.

“There is unrest among students now, because they feel unsafe. This is a blot on our country. No student should feel afraid, they are our future, and their thought process must be protected, nurtured and shaped. I am certain such
violence will not be tolerated in our country either.”
Earlier also, CM Thackrey had exhibited himself illogical, comparing the Delhi Police action in response to the CAA protest by Jamia, AMU students to that of Jallianwala Baug Massacre. The CM then had failed to note that neither the protests were peaceful, nor the situation was in anyway like Jallianwala Bagh. A more illogical comparison and Thackrey will be manifesting his unreasonable thought process, unnecessarily demeaning its former ally, the BJP!
