Facebook controversy: Shiv Sena shuts down Palghar
Wednesday, November 28, 2012
Maharashtra's Palghar town and surrounding areas remained
shut Wednesday in response to a call by the Shiv Sena to
oppose the suspension of the two police officials who had
arrested two girls for their Facebook comments on Bal
Thackeray's death.
The shutdown call evoked a near-total response in the
industrial town, around 100 km north-west of the state
capital Mumbai in Thane district, officials said.
Two girls from Palghar, Shaheen Dadha and her friend Renu
Srinivasan, had questioned on Facebook the shutdown after
the death of Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray Nov 17 and
also the following day when he was cremated in Mumbai.
They were arrested by two police officials, who were
placed under suspension Tuesday.
G.R. Patil, a resident of the town with a population of
around 200,000, said the shutdown evoked total response,
paralysing public transport, trade and business
activities.
