A special PMLA court on Friday allowed Uddhav faction leader and MP Sanjay Raut to renew his diplomatic passport. Sanjay Raut had filed an application in the special PMLA court demanding the renewal of his diplomatic passport, which was accepted by the court.

Raut and his wife Varsha Raut sought permission to renew their diplomatic passports during a hearing at the Sessions Court in connection with the Patra Chawl land scam case on Wednesday. The court had said it will deliver its decision on May 11.

Framing of charges to take place on June 20

Raut, who was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in July 2022, has been granted bail in the money laundering case related to the redevelopment project. In his bail plea, Raut had claimed that the case against him was politically motivated and an example of abuse of power. The framing of charges in the case has been postponed until June 20.

Allegations of abuse of power and political vendetta

Raut’s defense team has argued that the charges against him are politically motivated and that the case is an example of the abuse of power. However, the Enforcement Directorate has maintained that the allegations against Raut are serious and backed up by evidence.

Raut’s reaction on SC’s decision on Shiv Sena row

Sanjay Raut on Thursday reacted on the Supreme Court’s decision on last year’s political crisis in Maharashtra when the now CM joined hands with BJP to come to power.

“If the 16 MLAs including CM Shinde are disqualified today, then this group of traitors will be finished,” Raut told press “The current govt is illegal and formed against the Constitution,” he added while speaking to the news agency while noting the SC decision.

On Wednesday, Raut had said the judgement would decide whether “democracy is alive or not” in the country.

Mumbai: Maharashtra Samajwadi Party leader Worker Assembly Abu Asim Azmi criticized the statement of Home Minister Amit Shah and said that it is the responsibility of the Home Minister and the Central Government to take action against Bangladeshi and Pakistani infiltrators. The population of Muslims in India has increased due to Bangladeshis. This is completely wrong. The residents of West Bengal and ordinary Muslims are being targeted under the guise of Bangladeshi and Pakistanis. He said that the government is yours in many states and at the center, so how do Bangladeshi infiltrators enter from the border? What action has the government taken against those who forge their documents so far? He said that targeting Muslims under the guise of Bangladeshi should be stopped, just as Karat Soumya is trying to fake the certificates and documents of every Muslim and is targeting Muslims. He said that the government should pay attention to how Bangladeshi infiltrators infiltrate from the Indian border. This is not the job of Congress, SP or other parties. It is the job of the government to take action against Bangladeshi and Pakistanis and to bring them to justice. But Muslims should not be harassed or disturbed. He said that action is being taken against those officers who are preparing documents for Bangladeshis.
