Thane: Congress leaders meet top cop and seek action against Shiv Sainiks

Published

on

Congress state president Nana Patole and other party leaders, including ex-chief ministers Ashok Chavan and Prithviraj Chavan and former minister Balasaheb Thorat, met Thane Police Commissioner Jaijeet Singh recently and demanded action against Shiv Sainiks who attacked Congress office-bearer Girish Koli.

The delegation also wanted to know why no action was being taken against the controversial assistant commissioner of the Thane Municipal Corporation, Mahesh Aher, against whom Thane Congress president Vikrant Chavan had complained several times.

Aher threatened Chavan and his family

A few days ago, Chavan gave Singh a letter in which he alleged that Aher had threatened him and his family. Earlier, ex-minister of the NCP Jitendra Awhad had complained to the police that Aher had threatened him and his family members. The civic official denied the allegation.

Meanwhile, the executive committee of the Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee has claimed that the BJP will not be able to win the upcoming elections to the assembly and the Lok Sabha. This was the consensus at the meeting, which was attended by Congress leaders including Patole, Thorat, Ashok Chavan, Prithviraj Chavan, Hussain Dalwai, Bhalchandra Mungekar and others.

Patole said: “Rahul Gandhi took the Modi government to task in Parliament over the Adani scam and asked about the relationship between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Gautam Adani. The result was that Gandhi was expelled from the Lok Sabha.”

He said the MPCC has already protested in different parts of the state. “The satyagraha will reach every taluka and village,” he added.

It is unconstitutional to deprive SP MLA Raees Sheikh of his right to handle religious affairs under Article 26 of the Constitution

Published

on

Mumbai: Maharashtra MLA Raees Sheikh has opposed the introduction of the Wakf Bill in the Lok Sabha. Raees Sheikh has strongly criticized the BJP for creating a false narrative and called the bill a misconception and unconstitutional bill which is harmful for the poor of the society.

Shaikh further said that Article 26 of the Constitution guarantees freedom to run religious institutions. It is unconstitutional to take away the right of a person to run his institution under Article 26 of the Constitution. MLA Shaikh said that this move is against the constitutional guarantee of dealing with religious matters.

Shaikh said that the BJP government is showing the UPA government that it is doing politics of appeasement of a particular community, while the BJP-led government is not doing so. This is an attempt to spread a lie that allows the community to seize any land under Waqf or claim it to be Waqf. The Waqf Board is not a private organisation of the Muslim community but a statutory body established under the Waqf Act. In the process of declaring a property as Waqf, a government surveyor conducts a survey and officially declares the property as Waqf. Sheikh remarked that it is completely wrong to present the idea that Muslims can arbitrarily declare any property as Waqf.

Shaikh further said that he strongly opposes the false image being created by the government and the government has not considered the suggestions given by Muslims or the opposition. All Waqf governing boards and trusts have been given the option to exit the Waqf framework. This has weakened the system. “This is an unimaginable and unimaginable bill that only harms the poor of the society,” Sheikh said.

He further said that some provisions, such as the condition that the person making the donation should have been a Muslim for five years, are strange. Earlier encroachment on wakf property was a non-bailable offence, but now it has been made a criminal offence
