Ajit Pawar led the Nationalist Congress Party’s (NCP) Jan Sanman Yatra entered Mumbai on Monday. However, all eyes were on Congress MLA Zeeshan Siddique who joined the Ajit Pawar-led yatra in full zest, extending his full support. He welcomed the NCP chief and other leaders in his constituency. It is not unknown that Zeeshan is disgruntled in Congress, and is likely to follow his father’s footsteps and join the NCP.

Zeeshan is a sitting Congress MLA from Bandra East constituency. However, lately, he has been open about the discrimination he is facing within the party.

It was in February this year, a long-term Congressman Baba Siddique exited the party and joined the Ajit Pawar-led NCP. Siddique had indicated then that Zeeshan would be next to quit the grand old party.

Speaking to the media on Monday, Zeeshan said, “Ajit Pawar’s Jan Sanman Yatra was about to start from my constituency (Bandra) and several women wanted to greet and thank him for the Ladli Bahin Yojana. Thus, we are giving him a grand welcome in Bandra.”

Zeeshan also highlighted how he has been sidelined in Congress. “A couple of days ago there was a Congress rally here and I was not invited. Also, there was nomination form distribution in the Congress office, however, my supporters were refused the forms too. It is loud and clear what the party wants. It is now my decision from where to contest the election.

“Residents of Bandra East are aware of the discrimination we have been facing lately. I will follow what the people of my constituency say. I will fight elections from Bandra East itself and win,” Zeeshan added hinting to contest from the NCP-Ajit Pawar faction.

As per reports, Ajit Pawar-led NCP is claiming Mumbai’s Bandra, Sion, and Pratiksha Nagar constituencies in the seat-sharing for the upcoming state assembly elections.

Mumbai: Police has implemented UAPA Act in the Bir Ard Masla Mecca Masjid blast case. On the midnight of March 30, Vijay Agon and Shri Ram Ashok placed a bomb in the mosque and exploded it. This explosion was done with the help of jetliner and detonator. In this case, the police had earlier registered a case under Arms Act and other sections, but after that Muslim organizations had demanded to prosecute the accused under UAPA Act and NSA.
The Beed blast was investigated by the local crime branch, in which the crime branch found that the explosion was very powerful and detonators were also used along with jetliner rods. On this basis, UAPA Act has been implemented on the recommendation of the Crime Branch. Police have registered a case against both the terrorists under sections 16 and 18 of UAPA. Since the Beed blast, Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) is investigating it along with the police. The ATS is investigating the connection and financing of terrorists in this case, including how jetliner rods were made available to the accused and who provided them jetliner rods without license or permit. Along with this, investigation is also going on to find out how many more people and conspirators are involved in this case. ATS said that investigation is going on every aspect and point of the Beed bomb blast, however, ATS has so far questioned many people in this case, including family members and well-wishers of the accused as well as their friends and acquaintances. ATS is trying to uncover the conspiracy before the blast in the Beed Mecca Masjid blast case because before the blast, accused Vijay Agon had released a video and uploaded it on the status threatening Muslims to remove the mosque and only after that the blast took place here. The local police had also registered a case of spreading religious hatred against the accused a day earlier and the mosque was blown up the next day.
