MUMBAI – Hindu extremists have a plan or two
up their sleeve for Sania Mirza and Shoaib Malik.
The Indian tennis star has decided to marry
the ex Pakistan cricket captain and this has not gone down well with Hindu
extremists such as Shiv Sena, which has organised protest rallies all over India
in which posters and effigies of the bride and groom were set
alight.
Though the Sena does not have a good enough
presence in Hyderabad it is doing everything possible to make its presence felt
on the D Day of Sania’s marriage. It is believed that there would be a protest
organized by the Sena in conjunction with many other Hindu extremist groups near
the hotel where the marriage would take place.
Bal Thackeray is said to be fuming ever since
the news of the marriage broke in the media earlier this week.
‘They are attacking us with their terrorists,
they are kicking us out of Afghanistan, they are sidelining us at major global
summits and conferences, and now they are stealing our women? Is India a land of
neuters that she has to go find a man in Pakistan to marry? (India mai kya
hijray rehte hai jo woh mard dhoondne Pakistan gaee hai)’, Said Bal Thackeray
this morning.
The Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) which is
known for its violence against North Indians in the state of Maharashtra has
also joined in the chorus.
The MNS is headed by Raj Thackeray, nephew of
Bal Thackeray, who had split from the Shiv Sena in 2006.
‘We’ll see how this Pakistani takes our girl.
This is an insult and we will not let this happen at any cost’, Raj Thackeray is
reported to have said.
It is believed that Sania and her family will
be enhancing the security arrangements of the marriage as Shoaib’s family from
Pakistan could be targeted.
