There is no opposition to peaceful protests, but violence broke out during protests in Delhi, conspiracy to create unrest during protests: Devendra Fadnavis

Mumbai: Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has made a serious allegation and termed the violence in the peaceful protest of the CJP at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar as a political agenda. He said that behind it, many political parties are trying to gain political benefits, while many sincere people are also involved, but the way violence was unleashed in this protest is completely wrong. Stone pelting on the police and breaking vehicles is absolutely not right. Fadnavis has also supported the action of the Delhi Police and said that the police have shown patience and restraint. Regarding the protest, Devendra Fadnavis has made it clear that everyone has the right to protest in the Constitution and democracy, but no one has the right to disrupt the situation by protesting without permission. If someone protests without permission or creates violence and tension, action will be taken against him. He said that some elements have also joined the JCP protest who have nothing to do with the protest, they are only involved in their own benefit and a conspiracy to create unrest in the country. Devendra Fadnavis has said that action is taken against protest demonstrations only when they are ready for violence or are part of a conspiracy. He said that no action is taken against those who protest with permission, while everyone has the right to protest and no one can be deprived of it. Fadnavis said that in the backdrop of the JCP protest, an attempt is being made to spoil the situation, which is intolerable. He added that everyone has seen what happened in Delhi and how violence was unleashed here. Along with this, the police have also taken action against the protest demonstrations in Maharashtra and Mumbai, while Fadnavis has also supported the police action against the protesters.

Abu Asim Azmi demands resignation of Education Minister and Supreme Court intervention regarding police action on paper leak

Mumbai: MLA Abu Asim Azmi has hit out at the central government, supporting its aggressive stance on the paper leak scandal. He has demanded the immediate resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. Azmi expressed disappointment that unlike Lal Bahadur Shastri, who voluntarily resigned after taking moral responsibility for a railway accident, this government is refusing to accept any accountability despite the suicide of several students. Azmi praised Sonam Wangchuck and said that she has started this fight for the future of students and has gone on a 20-day hunger strike to protest against the shortcomings in the country’s education system. However, he termed the Delhi Police’s actions of resorting to lathicharge and tear gas against her as extremely shameful. Recalling the words of Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia – “When the streets become silent, Parliament becomes independent”, Azmi said that Parliament is not in a listening mood at the moment. At such a time, citizens have every right to peacefully take to the streets and raise their voice against injustice and the government as per the constitution given by Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar. Alleging that democracy has ended in the country and a dictatorship-like situation has emerged, MLA Abu Asim Azmi has demanded the Supreme Court to take suo motu notice of the police action and ill-treatment meted out to Sonam Wangchuck and direct that cases be registered against those responsible.
