Sanjay Raut claims ‘death threats’ from CM Shinde group

Shiv Sena-UBT MP Sanjay Raut on Tuesday claimed to be getting death threats from a contract killer allegedly hired by Thane MP Shrikant Shinde, the son of Chief Minister Eknath Shinde.

He has brought the matter to the notice of Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis, who holds the home ministry, in a letter sent on Tuesday.

Raut, who is also the Sena-UBT’s chief spokesperson, said that in recent times, there has been an increase in threats and attacks on elected representatives which goes contrary to the traditions of Maharashtra.

“After the change of power in the state, my entire security has been withdrawn. I have no complaints over that. Such political decisions keep happening. Security of the peoples’ representatives concerns the state government and the home department is competent to handle it,” he said.

“Yet, I wish to bring to your notice a serious issue. I have learnt that a dreaded mafia don of Thane, Raja Thakur has been given a contract by MP Shrikant Shinde to target me. Given the current political scenario in the state, it is imperative to keep you updated on this,” Raut contended.

Before Raut, senior Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Dr. Jitendra Awhad had last week claimed threats to eliminate him and his family members, while this week, former CM and senior Congress leader Ashok Chavan has also alleged of a conspiracy to finish him off.

Party sources said that Raut has also written to the Thane police naming Shinde and others who are allegedly threatening him, though there has been no reaction from the government side yet.

Mumbai: Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has made it clear on the Hindi-Marathi language dispute that linguistic discrimination and violence cannot be tolerated. If anyone instigates violence in the name of Marathi language or takes the law into his own hands, strict action will be taken against him because it is the government’s responsibility to maintain law and order. He said that in the Mira Road Hindi Marathi violence case, the police have registered a case and taken action.

A committee has been formed in the matter of Marathi and Hindi language. Whatever is better for the students on its recommendation, the government will implement it. No decision has been taken under anyone’s pressure. He said that the recommendation for Hindi language was made during the Maha Vikas Aghadi rule itself, but now these same people are opposing it. The public knows everything.

He said that in this election, BJP has got 51 percent Marathi votes. Violence and discrimination in the name of language cannot be tolerated. Marathi is a source of pride for us, but we do not oppose Hindi. What will happen if a Marathi businessman in another state is asked to speak his language? In Assam, he was asked to speak Assamese. He said that strict action will be taken against those who break the law.
