‘Need To Put In Extra Hours For Disqualification Pleas,’ Says Maha Assembly Speaker In Nagpur

Published

on

Maharashtra assembly speaker Rahul Narwekar on Thursday said that he would need to put in extra hours to conduct hearings on disqualification petitions while ensuring smooth functioning of the House.

Speaking to reporters in Nagpur, Narwekar said, “I need to ensure the smooth functioning of the legislative assembly as well as complete the disqualification hearings pending before me. It looks like I will be working from 9 am to 10 pm in this period to give justice to both responsibilities.”

Rahul Narwekar is hearing cross-petitions filed by the rival Shiv Sena factions seeking disqualification of each other’s MLAs following a split in the party last year. Narwekar said he would hear the petitions on Thursday for two and a half hours at the Vidhan Bhavan in Nagpur.

Speaker Speaks On Work Being A Challenging Task

The speaker said it would be a challenging task for him to pay attention to both – hearings as well as smooth functioning of the House. The Shiv Sena (UBT) is seeking disqualification of Shinde-led 40 rebel MLAs who revolted against Thackeray, which not only led to the collapse of the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government in June 2022, but also caused a split in the 57-year-old party.

The Shinde camp has alleged that the documents based on which the Thackeray-led group has been seeking disqualification of their rival MLAs are “fake”. In September, the Supreme Court had rebuked Narwekar for delaying the adjudication. The court had directed the Speaker to announce within a week the date for the ruling on the disqualification petitions filed by the Sena factions.

Last week, the Uddhav Thackeray-led faction of Shiv Sena wrote to Narwekar urging him to summon the concerned official of the Election Commission (EC) during the disqualification hearing.

Mumbai: The process of removing loudspeakers from mosques in Mumbai has now begun. BJP leader Kirit Somaiya, through the Loudspeaker Mukt Mumbai campaign, has now started removing loudspeakers from mosques in the city and suburbs, which is causing resentment among Muslims. Kirit Somaiya today visited Andheri and Kurla VB Nagar police stations and, citing the orders of the state government and the High Court, demanded action against the loudspeakers of mosques. Meanwhile, the police have assured that the loudspeakers of both the constituencies will be removed in the next 10 days. Similarly, action has also been started in Ghatkopar and Vikhroli, a northern suburb of Mumbai. Here, the police have given a notice to Hill No. 4 Madrasa Anjuman Risalat Haq in Ghatkopar, which said It has been ordered that the loudspeaker be removed from here. Citing the violation of noise pollution norms, instructions have been given to remove the loudspeaker and along with this, instructions have been given to install two box-shaped speakers. If the loudspeaker is not removed, legal action will be taken and the loudspeaker will be confiscated.

The process of removing loudspeakers from mosques in Mumbai city and suburbs has now started. Kirit Somaiya has intensified her campaign. Today, while visiting VB Nagar and Andheri police stations, she has also instructed the police to remove the loudspeakers. Mumbai Police has now started sending notices to remove loudspeakers from mosques, which has created a problem of law and order. Despite this, Kirit Somaiya is adamant about removing loudspeakers from mosques. In such a situation, it is also a big challenge for the newly elected Police Commissioner Deven Bharti to maintain law and order. Earlier, to control Kirit Somaiya’s mischief, the police had banned Kirit Somaiya from visiting the Muslim-majority area of ​​Bhandup, but despite this, Kirit Somaiya visited here. Now the atmosphere of hatred has increased so much that this campaign has also created a threat of communal tension.

Mumbai: The death of Hazrat Maulana Ghulam Mohammad Vastanvi, who was always concerned for the welfare of the Muslim Ummah and set a major milestone in the field of education, is a great tragedy. The pain of which will be felt by every member of the Muslim Ummah.
Paying tribute to this sad demise, Member of Assembly Abu Asim Azmi said that he was a modern scholar and thinker of the ancient style. He presented a moderate and successful combination of ancient and modern sciences before the nation and single-handedly did what many organizations and associations could not have done together. Perhaps this was a blessing in continuing individual efforts with sincerity and a mission instead of trying to become a leader through manipulation politics.
May Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala forgive Maulana, raise his ranks and grant patience to his family, the underprivileged, his students and the wise, Amen.
