Maharashtra breach of privilege move: Sanjay Raut’s reply sought today

Published

on

 The Maharashtra Legislative Assembly has sought Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut’s reply to the breach of privilege notice moved by the ruling ally Bharatiya Janata Party members, by Friday (March 3) evening.

Raut, who is currently touring Sangli, told mediapersons that he has “not received any notice” so far, adding that this is a legal matter and he would require time to file his reply.

“I have already been to jail… If I don’t submit the reply, shall I be hanged?” countered Raut, who is under fire for his purported ‘chor mandal’ remarks that enraged the state’s legislators.

On Thursday, the Maharashtra Legislative Council Deputy Chairperson Dr. Neelam Gorhe directed him to file his reply to a similar notice from the Upper House within seven days.

The Opposition Sena (UBT) Leader of Opposition in the Council Ambadas Danve has moved a separate breach of privilege notice against Chief Minister Eknath Shinde for his remarks calling the Opposition as ‘anti-nationals’ (desh-drohi) after they boycotted his session-eve tea-party last Sunday.

On Thursday, the Chief Minister clarified that his statement was intended at the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) MLA Nawab Malik, who is currently in jail for alleged deals with the mafia.

Quickly reacting to this, Raut said that even his statement (‘chor mandal’) was directed at the CM Shinde’s Shiv Sena MLAs and not at the entire legislature.

A day before, Nationalist Congress Party President Sharad Pawar expressed his reservations on the formation of the committee excluding Sena (UBT) members, but including the complainant on the panel, besides the legality and guidelines for such a move since Raut is a Member of Rajya Sabha.

Wankhede withdraws defamation case against Kashif Khan and Rakhi Sawant

Mumbai: Former NCB Zonal Director Additional Commissioner IRS has withdrawn the defamation case filed against film actress Rakhi Sawant and her lawyer Kashif Ali Khan. Sameer Wankhede had filed a defamation case against Rakhi Sawant and her lawyer Kashif Ali Khan Deshmukh seeking compensation of Rs 11.55 lakh. Wankhede withdrew the case on personal grounds. On withdrawing the complaint, Kashif Ali Khan said that our mediation is complete. Instead of mutual differences, we fought against our hidden enemies. An example of this is that I have pleaded the case of Sameer Wankhede’s sister Yasmin Wankhede and also filed a defamation case against former minister Nawab Malik.

Sameer Wankhede had arrested Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan in the Cordelia cruise case and Kashif Ali Khan, the lawyer of Manmohan Dhamicha who was arrested in this case, made objectionable and indecent comments against Sameer Wankhede on his Instagram and social media channels, after which Wankhede filed a defamation case against him and Rakhi Sawant also shared the same post on her Instagram. Since Kashif Ali Khan is the one who is advocating many cases of Rakhi Sawant, Wankhede had filed a case against both of them, but now Wankhede has withdrawn the case on the basis of personal reasons. The court had ordered the parties to remain present for the withdrawal of the case, while Wankhede said that he has reached a settlement with Kashif Ali and after this understanding, Wankhede has withdrawn the case.
