‘Send Police On Leave For 24 hours & Hindus Will Show Their Strength..’: BJP MLA Nitish Rane After Alleged Stone Pelting At Ganesh Visarjan Procession In Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar

The controversial BJP MLA from Maharashtra’s Kankavli, during a speech in Sangli on Thursday, said that if the police were sent on leave for one day, Hindus would show their strength.
The social media platform X, Rane can be heard saying, “…give the police a day off, and Hindus will show their strength… next time you come across a case of love jihad, find the person and break his bones. Call me, as it is my responsibility to ensure that nothing will happen to you.”
As per reports, when the media asked Rane about the hate speech, he clarified his stance, saying that he was present at the event not as an MLA or a party worker but as a Hindu to talk about Hindus.
“I am not here as an MLA or a party worker but as a Hindu to speak to the Hindu community. I am doing my religious duty. Today, our religion is being challenged. As a Hindu, I am standing my ground and fighting for my religion, as stones are being pelted at us.”
Reacting sharply to Rane’s statement, AIMIM leader Waris Pathan said, “Dogs bark, but the lion does not care. Rane asked to remove the police for 24 hours. I want to ask him what he would do in those 24 hours. If I had said the same thing, I would be in jail right now.”
“According to SC guidelines, this is provocative speech but Maharashtra government will not take any action on it. The government wants to incite communal violence before Maharashtra elections,” Pathan said further.
This is not the first instance when Rane has delivered a hate speech. Earlier, on September 1, while speaking in support of Mahant Ramgiri Maharaj at the Sakal Hindu Samaj Andolan in Ahmednagar, he said that Hindus would enter mosques and kill Muslims one by one.
“If you speak against our Ramgiri Maharaj… they will say I spoke in Marathi, so I am threatening you in the language you understand. If you say anything against our Ramgiri Maharaj, we will come into your mosques and beat you up one by one. Keep this in mind.”
On the same day, two FIRs were registered against him for delivering inflammatory speeches on two separate occasions in Ahmednagar.
Amid the controversy over his hate speeches, NCP leader and Maharashtra Deputy CM has said that if Rane does not stop, he will take the matter to New Delhi.
However, Rane retorted, saying that Pawar can complain to whomever he wants, as Hindutva is non-negotiable. He further said that while he expects Pawar to complain about his speeches, he would also raise his voice and condemn those who threw stones at Ganesh processions.
As per reports, police arrested 15 people for allegedly pelting stones at a Ganesh festival procession in Maharashtra’s Chhatrapati Sambhaji nagar city on the final day of the festival. Three women and two men were injured in the incident in the Pundalik nagar area at around 11:30 pm on Tuesday.

Maharashtra Marathi Hindi Controversy: Strict action will be taken against those who take law into their hands: Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis

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.
