Patna: Perhaps, this cry will reach Raj Thackeray's ears. A child was born on the Dadar-Bhagalpur Express, on the running train, after the expecting mother was forced to board the train back to her hometown when Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) workers started targetting migrant labourers in the state.

Nagma says that she was going back to Bihar, but her labour pains started when she was on the train.

"My labour pains had started just when I had to leave. I had no choice, what could I do?" says she.

Nagma, like tens of thousands of others, had taken a train to Mumbai three years ago, to get to the city of dreams and make some money.

Perhaps, someday, her newborn will grow up to witness politics that's cleaner than the stinking train toilet in which he was born.

On Monday, MNS workers publicly thrashed migrant workers and forcing many to take the first train out and return to their own states.

Migrant labourers say that Raj Thackeray wants all Biharis and UPites out of Maharashtra and so they were being beaten up and forcibly evicted by MNS activists.
