Sanjay Raut labels UP CM Yogi’s roadshow as ‘political biz’

Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut questioned the need for Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath to conduct a roadshow in Mumbai and termed it as ‘political business’, here on Thursday.
Currently on a two-day visit to Mumbai, Adityanath will flag off a roadshow Thursday to attract investments for the three-day global investors meet scheduled in Uttar Pradesh from February 10.
“Yogi is welcome to come and discuss investment prospects for UP… But what is the need for him to hold a roadshow in Mumbai? It is nothing but politics of business and this must stop,” said Raut sharply.
He said Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis will be attending the upcoming World Economic Forum meet in Davos (Switzerland) next fortnight.
“Do you expect them (Shinde-Fadnavis) to carry out a roadshow on the streets of Davos… Then why does Yogi come to conduct a roadshow in Mumbai,” Raut pointed out.
Referring to Yogi’s meetings with some Bollywood actors on Wednesday, he softened his stance over the earlier stand, saying that if UP is keen on setting a film industry in that state, it would be welcome as the move could spur the development there.
“It was Dadasaheb Phalke who introduced the film industry and bequeathed it to the whole nation, it belongs to everybody… There are already very big film industries in the south, Andhra Pradesh and I feel the film business should come up in every state,” said the Sena (UBT) Chief Spokesperson.
However, Raut said it would be naive if anybody feels that the film industry will ‘shift’ from Mumbai or top stars will also go to settle there, but added that all would help contribute to the development of a filmcity in Uttar Pradesh.

Muslim representative delegation met police commissioner Deven Bharti on Mumbai loudspeaker, stop action till Eid-ul-Adha: Azmi

Mumbai: Muslim representatives met Mumbai Police Commissioner Deven Bharti and lodged an objection against the removal of loudspeakers from mosques, saying that only mosques are being targeted, which is completely wrong, while the principle of noise pollution is equally applicable to all, but only on the complaint of BJP leader Kirit Somaiya there is a risk of deteriorating the environment by removing loudspeakers from mosques, and a demand was also made to stop police action to maintain law and order.
Maharashtra Samajwadi Party leader and Assembly member Abu Asim Azmi told the media after meeting the Police Commissioner on the loudspeaker issue that Mumbai Police Commissioner Deven Bharti said that no action will be taken against loudspeakers till Eid-ul-Azha, while Azmi drew the attention of the Police Commissioner on this issue that unilateral action is being taken only against mosques. The police take action after the complaint of Kirit Somaiya and then the action starts. He said that the issue of removing loudspeakers from mosques is threatening peace in Mumbai. Azmi said that the way Kirit Somaiya and Nitish Rane are demonstrating provocations has spoiled the atmosphere of Mumbai city.
The police should also take action against them to maintain law and order. Police Commissioner Deven Bharti has assured the delegation that he will take necessary steps on this issue and action will be taken as per the law. Abu Asim Azmi, while expressing concern over mischief on Eid-ul-Azha, told the Police Commissioner that the way some miscreants are constantly trying to create conflict in societies by offering sacrifices. On Nitish Rane’s venom regarding sacrifice in societies, Azmi said that sacrifice is offered in societies and it is done legally, there is no problem in it, but some people are presenting sacrifice as an issue to spoil the environment. He said that even in Hinduism, cats are offered, then no one objects. On Nitish Rane’s demand for virtual sacrifice, he said that Islam will follow Sharia and Muslims offer sacrifices only according to Sharia and the law has allowed us to do so.
Samajwadi Party leader Yousuf Abrahani, Advocate Amin Solkar, Khateeb and Imam of Hari Masjid Maulana Zubair Ahmed Barkati were also present in this representative delegation. Yousuf Abrahani said that legal action is being taken on the loudspeaker issue and the court is also being approached, while all the conditions imposed on the loudspeaker issue are illegal, while the Supreme Court had ordered decibel control and decibels have been fixed, accordingly, loudspeakers are used in mosques, but the police are taking action under pressure from the Kirit Somaiya and the police do not have the authority to remove loudspeakers from mosques, but despite this, this process is continuing, while the Mumbai Police Commissioner has also assured of necessary action on this issue.

Circular regarding loudspeakers should be withdrawn immediately: Naseem Khan

Mumbai: Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee State President Harsh Vardhan Sapkal and State Working President and former Minister Mohammad Arif Naseem Khan, while addressing a joint press conference, strongly condemned the new circular issued by the state police regarding the use of loudspeakers at religious places and demanded its immediate cancellation.
In this press conference held at Tilak Bhawan, Arif Naseem Khan said that the ruling BJP government in Maharashtra is deliberately inciting religious sentiments to divert the attention of the people from public issues like inflation, unemployment, farmers’ plight, industrial decline and the deteriorating law and order situation. He said that the latest circular issued by the police regarding the use of loudspeakers in mosques is not only a violation of constitutional rights but also a step affecting the peaceful atmosphere of the state.
Naseem Khan recalled that in 2022, the court had given clear instructions for the use of loudspeakers at religious places that they can be used within a certain sound limit from 6 am to 10 pm. But now the police have issued a new circular on May 11, which has made it mandatory to have a construction plan approval, property card and confirmation from local bodies for installing loudspeakers in places of worship. He strongly criticized this circular, saying that this move is a blatant interference in religious affairs by the police, which is against the constitutionally granted freedom of religion.
Naseem Khan said that this is a step reflecting a communal mindset which is not possible without the tacit approval of the state government. He strongly demanded that Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis immediately issue an order to cancel this unconstitutional and provocative circular, so that the anxiety and distrust spreading among the people can be addressed.
After the press conference, Muhammad Arif Naseem Khan also inspected the Deonar slaughterhouse in view of Eid-ul-Adha. On this occasion, he held detailed discussions with the slaughterhouse officers, administration representatives, sacrificial animal traders and buyers. He obtained information about the sale and purchase of animals, cleanliness, water supply, lighting, traffic control, token system and other facilities and strictly instructed the officers to resolve all the problems faced by the public and traders on priority basis. Naseem Khan said that millions of people are involved in the sacrificial festival and even a minor negligence of the administration can create big problems. Therefore, the concerned institutions should perform their duties with full diligence and sensitivity. He stressed that the government should not only provide facilities during religious festivals but also avoid unnecessary restrictions and official actions while respecting religious sentiments.
