Maharashtra Sadan attacked in Delhi
Attacks against north Indians in Maharashtra echoed in the national capital today when around 25 people indulged in violence in Maharashtra Sadan demanding immediate arrest of MNS chief Raj Thackeray.
Shouting slogans like “Marathis Go Back”, the alleged activists of Rashtravadi Shiv Sena broke flower pots, glass doors and window panes of the Maharashtra Sadan at around 12:30 pm.
Fooling security guards by entering the building in small groups, the attackers suddenly started damaging the property near the reception counter.
The protestors also raised slogans against Maharashtra government and Thackeray.
“They came inside the building in small groups. Nobody has any clue. They suddenly started shouting slogans and indulged in violence,” Pramod Kolate, an official of the Sadan who was at the reception, said.

Let them attack, I'm not leaving Mumbai: Big B
Pained by the campaign launched against him by Raj Thackeray's MNS, Bollywood star Amitabh Bachchan has said he was not an outsider in Mumbai by any stretch of imagination and would not budge from the city.
"I am not leaving this city (Mumbai) and going anywhere. Let them chuck a thousand bottles. Let them burn my effigies and conduct morchas in front of my house. Let them blacken my film posters and stop screening of my films. Let them attack me with stones and laathis or whatever else is there in their arsenal," Bachchan told a city tabloid.
"Let them abuse me in the print and electronic media.Let them implicate me in false cases. I am not budging," he said before leaving for a film shooting abroad.
He said nobody can force him to leave Mumbai or to change the course of his conscience.
Bachchan spoke emotionally on the attacks on his reputation and integrity, and on being labelled an outsider in a city where he spent a major portion of his life.
"I am not an outsider by any stretch of imagination.This land is my land as much as it is every other citizen of our beloved country.I came to Mumbai in 1968 to pursue a vocation. I did not need a visa to come here," Bachchan said.
Raj Thackeray targeted Bachchan two months back saying that the actor showed more interest in Uttar Pradesh, his home state, than Maharashtra, where he attained stardom.
