Mumbai, July 29: Launching a scathing attack on the democratic front government in Maharashtra for its failure to control law and order situation in the state, Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray today called upon the people to support the one-day opposition-sponsored Mumbai bandh tomorrow. "The situation has deteriorated to such an extent that innocent people are getting killed in bomb blasts engineered by extremists," Thackeray said in an editorial in the party's mouthpiece 'Samana'.
"How long are we going to tolerate the killing of innocent," he questioned.
"The government has to take stern measures to stop heinous crimes like bomb blasts but it is doing nothing," Thackeray alleged.
The Mumbai bandh is being called to pay homage to the victims of yesterday's bomb blast in a bus in Ghatkoper in which three persons were killed and also to protest the government's inaction in controlling the law and order situation.

Thackeray said his party had exempted the central services from the bandh. These include water supply, power supply, milk distribution and newspaper circulation
