'Sharad Pawar Is Ringleader Of Corruption In India,' Says Union Home Minister Amit Shah In Pune

Pune: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday launched a scathing political attack against Maharashtra’s seniormost politician, former Union Minister Sharad Pawar, on Sunday describing him as the ‘‘ringleader (Sargana) of corruption in India”, who has institutionalized corruption in the country.

The no-holds-barred attack came at the BJP’s state convention in Pune, which was attended by over 5,500 activists from all over the state.

“In the past, Sharad Pawar has levelled allegations of corruption against us. But we must remember that he has ruined so many institutions in India with his corruption,’’ Shah said in a stinging attack at the Balewadi Sports Complex.

NCP Hits Back

The NCP immediately hit back at Shah, saying it is the BJP which has “legitimised” corruption by inducting tainted leaders in the saffron fold. The BJP held its state convention ahead of the launch of its Maharashtra Assembly complex on Sunday.

Top state leaders of the BJP, such as Devendra Fadnavis, Chandrashekhar Bawankule, Pankaja Munde, Ashish Shelar, and many Union ministers such as Piyush Goyal and Ashwini Vaishnaw shared the dais with Shah. Party general secretary, Vinod Tawde, and Maharashtra observer Bhupendra Yadav were also present.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah Attack NCP SP Chief Sharad Pawar On Maratha Reservation

Attacking Pawar on the Maratha agitation, Shah said, “Do you remember that the Marathas got a reservation in Maharashtra during the BJP rule in the state and it was snatched from them when the Maha Vikas Aghadi came to power? Sharad Pawar has always been against giving reservation to the Maratha community.”

Many observers felt this was the first time that Shah had used harsh language against veteran politician Sharad Pawar and it was clear that the BJP had decided to go for the jugular during the assembly campaign.

Conspiracy to defame Sameer Wankhede… serious accusation of protecting Cordelia Cruz from drug case, Judge Irfan Shaikh dismissed after disciplinary committee report

Published

on

Mumbai: An attempt to defame former NCB zonal director Sameer Wankhede has started once again. Now the latest case is the dismissal of Judge Irfan Sheikh, in which this allegation has been made against Sameer Wankhede. In the Cordelia Cruz case, instead of arresting Judge Irfan Sheikh, his team has saved the judge. Additional Metropolitan Magistrate Irfan Sheikh was then posted as a judge of the Splendid Court. He was currently serving as a judge of Palghar and Thana District. After serious allegations like misuse of office, use of seized drugs, hitting a taxi with his car on Rafi Ahmed Kidwai Marg while intoxicated, abusing his powers along with having disproportionate wealth, hiding his identity at Nair Hospital and registering a false and misleading address, and getting the car back without depositing it, the High Court has dismissed the judge from service under disciplinary action. When the judge was investigated in the case, the allegations were found to be true and Irfan Sheikh was dismissed from his job. There is no mention of the Cordelia Cruz drug case anywhere in it, but Sameer Wankhede is being accused of helping the judge. Sameer Wankhede has categorically denied this and said that there is no mention of the Cordelia Cruz drug case in the police report or the judicial committee report.
When the documents and copies were obtained in this regard, there was no mention of the Cordelia Cruise drug case. Sameer Wankhede is a constant target of Bollywood, so Shah Rukh Khan’s company Red Chillies Entertainment had prepared a series of bad Bollywood stories against him, against which Sameer Wankhede has filed a defamation case in the Delhi High Court and its hearing is likely to be held soon. The series of slander against Sameer Wankhede and his family has become long and this is the reason why the attempt to defame Sameer Wankhede has intensified in the Irfan Sheikh case as well, but Sameer Wankhede or the NCB team have no role or involvement in this matter.

Mumbai: Maharashtra Samajwadi Party leader and MLA Abu Asim Azmi has appealed to Muslims to follow the footsteps and teachings of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and stop pasting stickers of I Love Muhammad because this government is taking action against pasting stickers and is also raining down batons. He said that the unrest being created over the I Love Muhammad sticker is a threat to the country, but despite this, the government is taking action against Muslims. On the Bareilly violence, Azmi said that I Love Muhammad is now an opportunity for sectarians under the guise of which they are running a hateful agenda. Therefore, now Muslims should love him with their true teachings and heart instead of pasting stickers of I Love Muhammad and should avoid pasting stickers. He said that Kirit Somaiya shows provocations about Ai Lo Muhammad and Muslims every day, along with that, the stickers that were pasted in Kurla were pasted with the will of the vehicle owners, there is no need to create a fuss and uproar over it, but Kirit Somaiya has no value, that is why he runs a hate agenda every day. Responding to BJP leader Nitesh Rane’s threat, MLA Abu Asim Azmi said that Nitesh Rane has no other business except spreading hatred, that is why I do not want to respond to his words. Elephants walk, dogs bark. He said that Nitesh Rane cannot even do Hanuman Chalisa and Bhagwat Gita Puja Paat properly, he only does politics in the name of Ram.
