Amruta Fadnavis jumps in to save Governor amid clamour for his ouster

Amid a shrill clamour to sack besieged Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari, singer Amruta Fadnavis – wife of Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis rushed to his aid, here on Friday.
She said that Koshyari is a ‘Marathi manoos’ (Marathi man) at heart whose recent utterances on Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj were misinterpreted.
Amruta said she knows the Governor personally and he genuinely loves the Marathis in the state.
“I have experienced this myself… Though it has happened many a times that he has said something that has been wrongly interpreted” claimed Amruta, speaking to the media.
Her defence of Koshyari – who kicked up a huge row on November 19 with his statements on Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj – came a day after the Maha Vikas Aghadi alliance declared that the Governor has “crossed all limits”.
Barring the ruling ally Bharatiya Janata Party, all political parties – Chief Minister Eknath Shinde’s Balasahebanchi Shiv Sena, and the Opposition Congress, Nationalist Congress Party and Shiv Sena (UBT) – have slammed the Governor and demanded his immediate removal from the august post.
Sena (UBT) President and ex-CM Uddhav Thackeray said that the Governor has insulted Maharashtra’s ideals and icons like Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, Mahatma Jyotirao Phule and Saviti Phule and also the people of the state.
“After the ‘Minde’ government (referring to Shinde) came to power in the state, it is being continuously insulted and abused, the Governor is slighting ‘Shivraya’. The Centre should recall him immediately. People who have no place even in old-age homes are being appointed as Governors,” said Thackeray sharply.
NCP President Sharad Pawar said on Thursday that Koshyari has “now crossed all limits” and urged the President Draupadi Murmu and Prime Minister Narendra Modi to take a call on him.
“The post of Governor represents an institution… To maintain its dignity, we did not speak against the Governor earlier, but now he has crossed all limits. Such people don’t deserve crucial posts like Governor” said Pawar sternly.
The state Congress President Nana Patole and other party leaders have also demanded the removal of the Governor for his slur against Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.
The direct descendants of the legendary Maratha warrior king, Chhatrapati Udayanraje Bhosale and Chhatrapati Sambhajiraje have come down heavily on the Governor for his statements on their illustrious ancestor.
Bhosale called Koshyari ‘third-class’ and has shot off letters to the President, PM and Union Home Minister Amit Shah demanding his removal while warning that he would launch an agitation in the state.
However, the Governor sought to make amends by praising Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj at a function a couple of days ago, but the state leaders are not convinced and are firm on his ouster.

After loudspeakers in mosques, now Kirit Somaiya objects to Qurbani too, demands ban on open Qurbani in Mumbai

Mumbai: Before Eid-ul-Azha, BJP leader Kirit Somaiya has shown mischief and now has objected to the open sacrifice on Eid-ul-Azha. Kirit Somaiya has said that Muslims are forced to sacrifice in the open on Eid-ul-Azha. Its purpose is to create fear and terror among non-Muslims, Hindus and Jain community. Along with this, he has alleged that land mafias perform such sacrifices to create an atmosphere of fear and panic in the area. In this regard, Kirit Somaiya has announced to visit police stations and BMC wards from Monday against open sacrifice and to put pressure on the police and administration to stop this practice.
Kirit Somaiya, while giving an inflammatory speech, said that just as Mumbai has been made loudspeaker free, loudspeakers have been removed from 80% of mosques, but loudspeakers are still installed in 20 slums and mosques including Antap Hill, Truck Terminal and Wadala. These loudspeakers will be completely removed within a month. Similarly, Kirit Somaiya has also demanded action against illegal mosques and madrasas in housing societies. Kirit Somaiya said that now bullying will not work. If anyone sacrifices in the open, action will be taken against him. That is why this campaign has been started from Monday. In 100 settlements, sacrifices are being made in the open without any permission, which is completely illegal. Its purpose is to create an atmosphere of fear in the area so that no one can raise their voice against these goons.
Abu Asim Azmi of Samajwadi Party met Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on the issue of loudspeakers and sacrifice and discussed with communal elements. He had demanded action and alleged that only Muslim mosques are being targeted in the name of noise pollution, which is completely wrong. The police have sent notices to mosques and forbidden them from doing so so that a peaceful atmosphere is maintained. On this, Kirit Somaiya said that this action is being taken on the orders of the High Court. Abu Asim Azmi and Uddhav Thackeray should go to the High Court or make a law.
