Mumbai: Advocate Gunaratna Sadavarte has filed a petition in the Bombay High Court (HC) against the Maharashtra Bandh (strike) called by the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) alliance. As per reports, the Sadavarte is representing the state government and the HC is hearing the case.
Sadavarte has called the bandh illegal and the government has asked the court to take strict actions against the people participating in the strike.
On the other hand, MVA leaders Uddhav Thackeray and Sharad Pawar has appealed the citizens of Maharashtra to participate in the strike overwhelmingly demanding justice for women. “You may belong to any religion but make the bandh successful,” said Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray.
The MVA leaders also said that the bandh is called demanding protection of women amid the rising cases of sexual assault and there is no political agenda. “Many people have started to feel that girls are not safe in schools. All citizens will take part in tomorrow’s bandh, not just MVA,” Thackeray said.
“The bandh will continue till 2 pm. Bus and train services should also be shut during tomorrow’s bandh,” Thackeray appealed.

After announcing the strike, state Congress President Nana Patole had said, “The Badlapur incident has maligned the image of Maharashtra. The school where the incident happened is related to RSS and matter is trying to be suppressed to save the school from defaming,” he said.
While, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut said, “The people of Maharashtra are agitated and FIRs have been registered against those who protested demanding justice for the minor

Bir Mecca Masjid bomb blast implementation of UAPA

Mumbai: Police has implemented UAPA Act in the Bir Ard Masla Mecca Masjid blast case. On the midnight of March 30, Vijay Agon and Shri Ram Ashok placed a bomb in the mosque and exploded it. This explosion was done with the help of jetliner and detonator. In this case, the police had earlier registered a case under Arms Act and other sections, but after that Muslim organizations had demanded to prosecute the accused under UAPA Act and NSA.
The Beed blast was investigated by the local crime branch, in which the crime branch found that the explosion was very powerful and detonators were also used along with jetliner rods. On this basis, UAPA Act has been implemented on the recommendation of the Crime Branch. Police have registered a case against both the terrorists under sections 16 and 18 of UAPA. Since the Beed blast, Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) is investigating it along with the police. The ATS is investigating the connection and financing of terrorists in this case, including how jetliner rods were made available to the accused and who provided them jetliner rods without license or permit. Along with this, investigation is also going on to find out how many more people and conspirators are involved in this case. ATS said that investigation is going on every aspect and point of the Beed bomb blast, however, ATS has so far questioned many people in this case, including family members and well-wishers of the accused as well as their friends and acquaintances. ATS is trying to uncover the conspiracy before the blast in the Beed Mecca Masjid blast case because before the blast, accused Vijay Agon had released a video and uploaded it on the status threatening Muslims to remove the mosque and only after that the blast took place here. The local police had also registered a case of spreading religious hatred against the accused a day earlier and the mosque was blown up the next day.
