Mumbai. At least 57 persons were hospitalized with symptoms like nausea, headache and vomiting after they attended a meeting where MNS chief Raj Thackeray delivered a speech on development of Mumbai and Maharashtra. Most of the victims have been discharged after primary treatment but condition of 13 of them continues to be delicate, although doctors have declared them out of danger. Doctors consider it a case of “speech poisoning”.
“We took samples of water and food that was presented to these guys and also toured the venue where the meeting took place. After laboratory tests, no contamination was found in the food and water samples and the air too was found to be clean and healthy. This seems to be a case of a disease that is spread by viruses and parasites that are speechborne.” Dr. Potdukhe, who treated most of the sick people at Bombay Hospital, said.

Raj Thackeray is seen here reacting when he saw a few present men and women falling unconscious as he delivered his speech
Most of the people, who fell sick during the meeting where the speech was delivered, confirm that they had started feeling dizzy even without having any food or water, giving credence to the prognosis done by Dr. Potdukhe.
“Things were going alright but soon I started feeling as if there was darkness all around. The appearances of people around me started getting blurred and they appeared like half naked warriors of Salman Khan’s Veer to me. For a moment I even thought that they were shouting Pindari Pindari like the Veer warriors, but I believe they were actually yelling Bihari Bihari.” Viru Waghmare, one of the guys who fell unconscious during Raj Thackeray’s speech, said.
Many others who attended and consumed the speech had similar stories to tell, although a bulk of people didn’t complain of any such problems. Doctors believe that the virus has mutated itself and has stealthily found its way into the immune system of many persons, causing them not to fall ill.
“This is a very complex kind of parasite or virus we are dealing with here. I believe that it has mutated itself several times now and might even masquerade as antibodies, which may cause some people to believe that they are alright, even though they might actually be sick.” Dr. Potdukhe cautioned people against being complacent, and asked them to see a doctor soon.

Get well soon !! Raj Thakerey!
Its a shame for me calling him a fellow Indian. As usual he’s using cheap nasty tricks to lure gullible illiterate folks into his fold.
Gastic lavage is required for those who attend these meetings.No dictionary words for the fellow.Actually It`s not his fault , it`s we people`s fault.Indians have lot of tolerance,that`s what these Politicians & all others alike cashing it.
It is not India’s intolerance..It is lack of political will which is creating a vacuum for people like Raj T. Anyways very good article and hope to read such in future too…
RT speech has got entertainment value and provides fodder for Hindi news channel!
PP I think you should watch Zenda movie(Marathi) it was opposed not by Raj but one leader of National party. Such movies which oppose Raj brand of politics are screened and widely watched, indicates the progressiveness of Maharashtra.
I doubt if a movie which paints fire brand political leader of state in negative shade be screened in other states.
Raj is open about his views definitely you can oppose it, that how new policies and changes will come. Think instead of asking other to get well soon!
are u time traveling? MNS activists had tore posters of Zenda and stopped its screening! forget Zenda, whole world saw what Raj’s gunda did to Wake Up Sid! don’t know how much ‘open’ yours truly Raj is in his views, but he needs to get well soon.
and who questioned progressiveness of Maharashtra? Raj might be open, but u surely seem to be ‘closed’ by thinking that people opposing Raj question the progressiveness of Maharashtra!
and I don’t care about other states, assholes in all states are assholes and they must not get any support or sympathy.
“which may cause some people to believe that they are alright, even though they might actually be sick.” lines with a deep meaning indeed… nice work
मराठीयों को पेहला हक मिलना चाहिए इसमे कोई गलती नही है. पर कॅपिटा इन्कम देखा जाए तो भारत का है १६०००, मुंबई का ५०,००० और बिहार का ५५००. तो इस पे सोचो. अपने बिहार को बेहतर कैसे बनाए वो सोचो. अपने पॉलिटिशिअन्स ने क्या गुल खिलाए है?
Mumbai’s per capita income is 50000 not because of Marathi manoos. It is because all big companies (Reliance/Tata), Banks and PSUs have their head office in Mumbai and they file income tax return from Mumbai. If u calculate the per capita income of Marathi manoos only it will be very less.So dont think that marathi manoos contributes to the per capita income of Mumbai. Why Raj and Bala saheb are not asking Mukesh, Anil and Ratan tata to leave mumbai they are also not marathi by birth? Why target only north indians?
Bala saheb said that since there are racist attacks in Aus we wont allow aussies to play in Mumbai. Why does he not think that North Indians are attacjed in Mumbai so Mumbai should not be allowed to play any where else in the country. If Indians in India are not safe how can he expect Indians in Aus to be safe?
