MVA holds ‘Halla Bol morcha’ : NCP Leather Sharad Pawar
At a well attended ‘’Halla Bol’’ morcha organised on Saturday by the Maha Vikas Aghadi partners supported by like minded parties, labour unions and various organisations to protest against insult and disrespect to the icons, Karnataka government’s efforts to escalate border issue and flight of projects, the former union minister and NCP Chief Mr Sharad Pawar warned that people are calm today but if the Governor (BS Koshyari) is not removed in time, the state will not remain silent but take an offensive stand.
‘’Mahatma Phule did great work in the field of education. If such a person is ridiculed by the Governor, then he has no right to hold that position. Never seen such a Governor in the history of Maharashtra. It has been 55 years since I myself went to the state legislature, during this period I saw many Governors who worked to increase the reputation of Maharashtra. But this time the state’s ideology is being put into crisis. Makes controversial remarks about Mahatma and Savitribai Phule. He should feel ashamed,’’ he noted.
Mr Pawar claimed that among the present rulers there is no competition for the development of the state, but a competition for the defamation of Maharashtra. ‘’A minister (without naming higher and technical education minister Chandrakant Patil), said Mahatma Phule, BR Ambedkar, Karmaveer Bhaurao Patil begged to start schools.’’
‘’If the rulers do not take a lesson from today’s morcha, I am sure that Maharashtra will not sit still and teach them (ruling alliance) a lesson in a democratic way,’’ said Mr Pawar.
The Shiv Sena Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray chief Mr Uddhav Thackeray, who participated in the morchawith his wife Ms Rashmi Thackeray, declared that the gathering at today’s morchas will open eyes of traitors of Maharashtra (without naming Eknath Shinde and other who defected and joined hands with BJP to form the government). He targeted Mr Shinde and BJP saying that after looking at today’s mobilisation who will dare to break Mumbai and Maharashtra.
He lashed out at the Governor Mr BS Koshyari for his controversial remarks about Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, Mahatma and Savitribai Phule. ‘’I don’t even consider him as a Governor though I certainly respect that position. We will not tolerate anyone sitting in that position and making such controversial statements. The Governor is the messenger of the President and should behave like the President,’’ he claimed.
Mr Thackeray also slammed Tourism Minister Mr Mangal Prabhat Lodha for comparing the Shinde’s rebellion and defection of legislators with the miraculous escape of Chhatrapati Shivaji maharaj from Agra. ‘’Another minister (Abdul Sattar) used derogatory language against Supriya Sule. How such ministers are in the cabinet? This shows intellectual poverty,’’he noted.
He announced that it is better if the power is lost but will not allow the identity of Maharashtra to be compromised. He warned that ‘’Anyone who tries to do so will not be forced to bend down on their knees.’’
‘’Belgaum, Karwar and Nipani have not yet become a part of Maharashtra. We will not rest without it.Today the flags of all the parties are seen here, this is the strength of Maharashtra. Only Maharashtra traitors are not here,’’ he taunted. He claimed that today’s morcha shows the traitors of Maharashtra their place.
Leader of Opposition Mr Ajit Pawar asked who is the mastermind behind the insult to great men and Maharashtra’s icons. He objected to the Governor BS Koshyari still sitting on the post despite his controversial remarks (Shivaji is an icon of older times).
‘’The Governor should be removed. The guilty MLAs should be removed. They should apologize. Steps should be taken to prevent this from happening again. Even if a law is enacted (to prevent insult and disrespect to icons and great men), the opposition parties will support it. I will propose such a law in the upcoming winter session starting from December 19,’’ said Mr Pawar.
The state Congress chief Mr Nana Patole criticised BJP saying that its real face has been exposed. ‘’Last week we saw the Governor sitting with the Prime Minister. BJP spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi said that Shivaji Maharaj apologized to Aurangzeb five times. How BJP dared to insult the great man of the country,’’ he noted.
Today’s march has clearly signalled that the people of Maharashtra have dismissed Governor BS Koshyari. ‘’It has also sent out a warning to the Shinde Fadnavis government that it will not see the month of February. Today Maharashtra is on fire, we have come together to bury Ravana,’’ he said.

Palghar Crime: Naigaon Police Arrest 35-Year-Old Murder Accused From Ship At Okha Port In Gujarat After Month-Long Manhunt

Palghar, Maharashtra: In a significant breakthrough, the Naigaon Police have arrested a murder accused who had been absconding for nearly a month. The accused, Sunil Kharpat Prajapati (35), was traced and detained from a ship docked at Okha-Dwarka port in Gujarat after a meticulous manhunt.
The case dates back to September 7, 2025, when a dispute broke out between two workers of Synergy Hygiel Company at Kaman, Vasai (East). The deceased, Dilip Saroj, and the accused, Prajapati, had been given money by their employer, Prakash Ghunkar Chamaria, to share expenses for meals. However, Prajapati allegedly withheld the amount from Saroj, sparking a heated quarrel.
According to police, during the altercation, Prajapati assaulted Saroj with a blunt object, inflicting severe injuries on his head, eyes, and right arm. Saroj succumbed to his injuries while undergoing treatment, leading police to upgrade the charges to murder under Section 103(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023.
Given the gravity of the crime, senior officers formed two dedicated teams from the Crime Detection Branch to trace the fugitive. Acting on credible intelligence, investigators learned that the accused had taken shelter aboard a vessel at Okha port in Gujarat. Over 200 ships in the vicinity were thoroughly searched before police located Prajapati hiding on one of them.
He was taken into custody and later confessed to his role in the crime during questioning, officials said. The accused is now in police custody, and further investigation is underway.

Ruckus created in Kurla over I Love Muhammad sticker, Soumya’s ultimatum, Soumya’s visit again after no progress in investigation, attempt to worsen the situation

Mumbai: The controversy over I Love Muhammad has intensified in Mumbai, Maharashtra and Mumbai. BJP leader Kirat Soumya has objected to the pasting of I Love Muhammad stickers on vehicles at traffic stops in the Kurla area on the outskirts of Mumbai and demanded the registration of an FIR. After giving a 48-hour ultimatum to the Kurla police station, Kirat Soumya has again visited the Kurla police station today and demanded the registration of a case for the forcible pasting of stickers on vehicles. In this matter, the police have asked Kirat Soumya to consult the law department and seek time for progress in the matter until Tuesday. When Kirat Soumya was asked what he had against I Love Muhammad and why he opposed it, he denied it and said that everyone has the right to take the name of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), but hooliganism will not be tolerated under the guise of this. The way the stickers were forcibly pasted on the roads without permission is the same. It is illegal. Kret Soumya said that the police have provided all the video footage and other documents, but the police have not registered a case yet. The police have given me time till Tuesday. Now the police will take some action after consulting the law department. When Kret Soumya was asked whether anyone had gone to the police station and complained about the forced sticker application, he said that since I am the complainant, the police should take action against this hooliganism. After Kret Soumya’s demand, attempts have been made to spoil the situation in Kurla, due to which the atmosphere is tense.

The streets echoed with the slogans of Takbir Allahu Akbar and Rasool, the Muslim youth arrested in the ‘I Love Muhammad’ controversy should be released, demand the scholars.

Mumbai: The historic 71-year-old Ghausia procession was taken out from Madanpura Hari Masjid in Mumbai with great respect and dignity. The Ghausia procession was led by scholars, while the devotees of Ghaus Azam participated in the procession carrying the flag of the Prophet. The streets of Mumbai echoed with slogans like Takbir Allah Akbar, we will not leave the fold of Ghaus. The police had made strict security arrangements after the violence in Bareilly. After the controversy over I Love Muhammad, there was a high alert in Mumbai as well.
The scholars were seen in old and antique cars in the Ghausia procession, while all the scholars and devotees of Ghaus Azam, including students of madrasas, were part of the procession. The procession passed through traditional highways from Madanpura to Ghausia and ended with prayers at Mastan Talab. Success lies in following the teachings of Ghaus-e-Azam Dastgir (may Allah be pleased with him), therefore, it is essential for Muslims to observe prayers and follow Sharia. This advice was given by Maulana Maqsood Ali Khan while narrating the biography of Ghaus-e-Pak before the Ghausiya procession today.
He said that the Ghausiya procession has completed 70 years. It is the need of the hour for Muslims to maintain unity and agreement among themselves. The message of humanity has been spread by Ghaus-e-Azam Dastgir (may Allah be pleased with him). On the controversy over Come Muhammad, Maulana Maqsood Ali Khan said that Muhammad Mustafa (peace be upon him) has spread the message of love. He came as a mercy for humanity, but today in this fascinating era, the market of hatred is hot. Politics is also going on in the name of Come Muhammad and attempts are being made to spoil the situation, which is completely wrong. Maulana Maqsood Ali Khan said that Ghaus-e-Azam Dastgir has countless discoveries and miracles and he has advised to acquire knowledge.
He has also traveled from Jilani to Baghdad to acquire knowledge, so education is of great importance in Islam. He said that the first letter of the name of Muhammad (peace be upon him) is M, that is why everyone loves Muhammad (peace be upon him). On the Bareilly violence, Maulana Maqsood Ali Khan said that the Muslim youth arrested on charges of violence should be conditionally released. Muslims had protested peacefully in love with the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him). Along with this, Maulana Tauqeer Raza should also be released.
In all the monasteries, including Khwaja Gharib Nawaz (may Allah be pleased with him), there are more non-Muslim attendees than Muslims, and this is a manifestation of brotherhood and national unity. He said that opposing the name of Muhammad (peace be upon him) is absolutely not right. He (peace be upon him) loved even his enemies. A person who is devoted to him (peace be upon him) only spreads the message of love. Maulana Khalil-ur-Rehman said that the secret of success lies in following the teachings of Ghaus-e-Pak (may Allah have mercy on him).
Therefore, Muslims should hold firmly to the rope of Islam and follow the Holy Sharia. He said that in today’s fascinating era, sectarian forces are hatching conspiracies against Islam, along with which attempts are being made to commit atrocities on Muslims, but the grace of Ghaus-e-Pak will always remain with us Muslims. The government should immediately release the Muslim youth arrested in Bareilly and other cities of Uttar Pradesh and impose a ban on unnecessary arrests. Maulana Manan Raza Khan Manani Mian, Maulana Syed Kausar Rabbani, Alhaj Saeed Noori Raza Academy, Maulana Abdul Qadir Alvi, Maulana Farid-ul-Zaman, Maulana Khalil-ur-Rehman Noori, Maulana Ijaz Kashmiri, Maulana Amanullah Raza, Mufti Zubair Barkati, Hafiz Abdul Qadir, Qari Niaz Ahmed, Qari Nazim Ali Barkati, Qari Abdul Rehman Ziaei, Maulana Ibrahim Asi, Hafiz Shadab, Haji Barakat Ahmed Ashrafi and other scholars and intellectuals participated.
