Prashant Kishor SLAMS Raj Thackeray For Anti-Bihari Remark, Dares BJP-Congress Over Language Silence [Video]

Prashant Kishor SLAMS Raj Thackeray For Anti-Bihari Remark, Dares BJP-Congress Over Language Silence

Prashant Kishor has launched a blistering attack on Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray after his controversial “slap those who don’t speak Marathi” remark. Calling Thackeray a “lumpen element” hiding in Mumbai while targeting poor migrants, Kishor slammed both BJP and Congress for their deafening silence on the issue. In a scathing rebuttal, Kishor reminded Thackeray that Maharashtra doesn’t belong to his father and warned against making heroes out of violent politics. Kishor also exposed the political convenience behind this rhetoric — just ahead of the BMC elections. He demanded Tejashwi Yadav and opposition leaders break their silence and stand up for Hindi-speaking migrants. The issue is rapidly snowb@lling into a national flashpoint on regional identity, governance, and electoral desperation. #PrashantKishor #RajThackeray #LanguageRow #BMC2025 #MNS #HindiSpeakers #BJP #Congress #TejashwiYadav #ShivSena #UddhavThackeray #MarathiPolitics #BihariMigrants #MumbaiPolitics #RegionalismDebate #PoliticalViolence #Elections2025 #MigrantRights #IndiaPolitics #PKSlamsRaj Also Read Bihar Assembly Elections 2025: Prashant Kishor Promises Rs 2000 To Every Senior Citizen :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/bihar-assembly-elections-2025-prashant-kishor-promises-rs-2000-to-every-senior-citizen-7787469.html?ref=DMDesc Spend One Night In Village: Prashant Kishor Challenges Rahul Gandhi's Commitment To Bihar :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/spend-one-night-in-village-prashant-kishor-challenges-rahul-gandhis-commitment-to-bihar-011-7783959.html?ref=DMDesc Prashant Kishor's Jan Suraaj Party Gets 'School Bag' Election Symbol :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/prashant-kishors-jan-suraaj-party-gets-school-bag-symbol-election-symbol-7783181.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.420~GR.124~

Iran’s Revolution Began in India? Khomeini’s Ancestral Link to Uttar Pradesh Sparks Global Curiosity [Video]

Iran’s Revolution Began in India? Khomeini’s Ancestral Link to Uttar Pradesh Sparks Global Curiosity

After the 12-day Israel-Iran war, an unexpected village in India has entered global focus. Kintoor, a village in Uttar Pradesh, is the ancestral home of Iran’s first Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. His grandfather, Syed Ahmad Musavi, was born there before migrating to Iran in the 1800s via Iraq, retaining “Hindi” in his name to honor his Indian roots. Khomeini’s rise from this legacy shaped modern Iran’s theocratic system. As geopolitical tensions rise, Kintoor’s forgotten link now highlights a deep historical and cultural bridge between India and Iran. #IranSupremeLeader #Khamenei #Khomeini #IndiaIranRelations #KhomeiniIndianRoots #KhameneiSpeech #IranIndiaTies #MEAIndia #KhameneiOnIsrael #SupremeLeaderIran #IranianPolitics #KhameneiRemark #KhomeiniHistory #IranIsraelTensions #KhameneiStatement #IranIndiaNews #IranIndiaDiplomacy #IndianRoots #KhameneiIndia #MiddleEastPolitics ~GR.124~HT.408~
