Mumbai: Samajwadi Party leader Abu Asim Azmi
on Monday supported RSS's stand to protect north Indians against
any discrimination in Mumbai.
"I welcome RSS's statement to protect north Indians
against any discrimination in Mumbai. I think now BJP should
also speak openly about it," Azmi told reporters here today.
Azmi criticised move of Raj Thackeray-led MNS to teach
Marathi to north Indian taxi drivers.
"They cannot force any language on the people. I would
approach the court against it," he said.
On losing Bhiwandi seat in the Assembly by-polls last
month, Azmi said Congress divided Muslim votes and Shiv Sena
won the seat. Azmi's son Farhan had contested from the seat.
