Narayan Rane & son are ‘liars’, driving us to suicide: Disha Salian parents’ plea to Prez, PM, CM

In a shocking development, the aged parents of former Bollywood-linked entrepreneur Disha Salian, have knocked the doors of Rashtrapati Bhavan complaining how Union MSME Minister Narayan Rane and his MLA son Nitesh Rane are “liars” and virtually driving them to suicide.

In a stinging 5-pager, Satish Salian and his wife Vasanti Salian have targeted the Rane father-son duo and some private television channels for running a ‘false narrative’ on television and social media on their deceased daughter Disha — who had fallen from a building or committed suicide on June 8, 2020.

Drawing parallels with the Nirbhaya rape-cum-murder case of Delhi a decade ago, the Salians pointed out that till now, that victim’s identity has not been revealed, but here “Rane is blatantly taking my daughter’s name” repeatedly and saying that she was raped.

Asking “whether the law of the land is not applicable to the Union Minister”, the Salians said even after registering a (police) against them, the “liars” Rane duo have not stopped maligning the family’s name.

When contacted, the Salian couple said that it has been two days since they wrote to President Ram Nath Kovind, but there has been no response so far.

“We have also made the same appeal to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray, Bharatiya Janata Party Leader of Opposition Devendra Fadnavis and Chief Justice of Bombay High Court, to stop a few politicians from maligning our daughter’s name,” Salian told IANS.

They pointed out how whenever the Union Minister took their daughter’s name, it became national news and wondered how should the police deal with the case against “rich and powerful politicians like Rane”, and what could the common citizens do to stop these people.

Urging for sensitising the judiciary on such issues instead of taking side of powerful politicians who are accused in such cases, they referred to the Sessions Court Judge’s observation in the Ranes’ bail order that the “investigation machinery is not expected to act as a tool in the hands of the government” but how it is acting in an unprecedented manner in dealing with the alleged crime.

They recalled how after four hours of questioning by the investigators, Rane came out and claimed that he called up the Union Home Minister after which he was allowed to step out from the Malwani Police Station.

“If this is true, then on whom can we trust to get justice… when our dignity is assaulted by such unscrupulous elements…,” the Salians said.

On top of that, after securing anticipatory bail, Nitesh Rane termed it as a ‘historic’ win’ and promised to get justice for Disha Salian.

“Who are they to get justice for our daughter? Such statements and allegations are making us disgusted and frustrated,” said the Salians, reiterating that “the Mumbai Police found no foul play with respect to (Disha), her fiance and friends” that fateful night.

Challenging the Ranes’ claims that they had no faith in (Mumbai) Police and they would submit the proof to the CBI, the Salians said after listening carefully to the court proceedings, they are convinced the Rane father-son are “liars”.

“They have no proof whatsoever… The facts are in our personal knowledge… and we are well aware that both of them cannot give any proof since they are liars… They are giving false excuses of giving the proof to the CBI and not the police,” they said sharply.

The Salian couple urged the President and others to direct the concerned authorities to take appropriate steps so that justice is done, as the Ranes have dragged them into their political rivalry with Chief Minister Thackeray and his son, state Minister Aditya Thackeray, “to settle their personal scores”.

“Otherwise, we will be left with no other alternative but to end our lives,” the Salians warned in conclusion.

‘Don’t threaten Oppn, you are the Chief Minister’: Raj Thackeray targets Fadnavis over Mumbai e-way ‘Missing Link’ tunnel leak

Mumbai, July 9: Launching a scathing attack on Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis over the recent water leakage inside the Mumbai-Pune Expressway ‘Missing Link’ tunnel, Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) Chief Raj Thackeray on Thursday accused the MahaYuti government of hiding its failures behind emotional rhetoric.

Addressing the anniversary event of the MNS Railway Kamgar Sena, the MNS Chief questioned the Chief Minister’s defence in the Legislative Assembly and hit back at his remarks warning the Opposition against “politicising” the issue.

Taking a swipe at Chief Minister Fadnavis’s objection to the Opposition’s criticism, Raj Thackeray said, “Wow! He (Devendra Fadnavis) says don’t politicise it. When anyone speaks out, it becomes ‘politics’ to them. What were you doing all those years when you were in the Opposition? Weren’t the agitations you staged against previous governments ‘politics’? Now that the heat is on you, you claim the Opposition is playing politics.”

He also dismissed the Chief Minister’s emotional appeal in the House, where Devendra Fadnavis had said that he could tolerate personal attacks but not the insult of Maharashtra.

“People are raising genuine questions about the Missing Link project. Where is the insult to Maharashtra in that?” he asked.

“If anyone speaks against the Central government, they are labelled ‘anti-national’. If someone speaks about the Missing Link, it is called an insult to Maharashtra! Are citizens not supposed to ask you questions at all?” Raj Thackeray added.

The MNS Chief also targeted Chief Minister Fadnavis for issuing warnings to critics and suddenly shifting languages during his Assembly speech.

“The Chief Minister (Devendra Fadnavis) declared in the Assembly that the Missing Link features top-notch construction quality and threatened to ‘deal with’ those politicising it. Listen, you are the Chief Minister. What do you mean by ‘I will deal with you’?” Raj Thackeray remarked.

The MNS Chief also said, “After saying all this, the Chief Minister suddenly started speaking in Hindi. Who was he speaking in Hindi for? The MLAs sitting in front of him are Marathi, the Legislative Assembly belongs to Maharashtra, yet our Chief Minister speaks in Hindi. Why? Perhaps Devendra Fadnavis wanted to send a message to his party bosses at the top, telling them that ‘I will deal with them’. Even he (Devendra Fadnavis) knows where these leak videos are originating from. There is massive internal infighting brewing within the BJP — just wait and watch what happens next.”

Turning his focus to the state of infrastructure, Raj Thackeray alleged widespread corruption in government contracts, claiming it has severely compromised construction quality.

“They (MahaYuti government) have completely ruined Mumbai, Maharashtra, and Thane, and this government calls it ‘development’. Construction is happening everywhere you look; the Chief Minister should just shut down all this construction. Building just roads and flyovers does not equate to development. I honestly don’t understand what these people learn when they travel abroad,” the MNS Chief said.

Highlighting the structural flaws of the mega-project, Raj Thackeray said, “The Missing Link project was inaugurated on May 1. Now, in July, water is leaking through it. A brand-new tunnel started leaking within just 60 to 65 days! During the inauguration, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis was boasting about how materials for the project were sourced from various countries. But the moment you hand it over to Indian contractors, they do exactly what they always do.”

He concluded with a serious allegation regarding contractor kickbacks.

“Some contractors are openly saying that they have to pay 56 per cent of the contract value as bribes to people in the state government. If they have to execute the project with just the remaining 44 per cent of the budget, this is exactly the kind of roads you are going to get,” the MNS Chief said.
