Under pressure to expand team, Maharashtra CM again air-dashes to Delhi

Under pressure to expand the cabinet from his restless flock of 50 MLAs and the upcoming Supreme Court hearing pertaining to disqualification proceedings, Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Wednesday again rushed to New Delhi.
Visiting the national capital for at least the 5th time in 28 days since he took office, Shinde is likely to meet Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Bharatiya Janata Party President J. P. Nadda and other leaders in the capital.
However, BJP’s Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis is not accompanying him on this trip to New Delhi, fueling fresh speculation in political circles.
Shinde faces a daunting challenge – balancing the clamour for ministerial berths from the rebel group which left him in June – besides many senior hopefuls from the BJP side which has a larger strength.
The repeated postponement of the cabinet expansion has also pushed back the Maharashtra Legislature Monsoon Session – normally held in July – to sometime in August.
There are also major concerns as many districts in the state have been ravaged with floods and the relief and rehabilitation packages have not yet been finalised.
These delays, coupled with the ensuing SC hearing on August 1, has unnerved the new regime and attracted huge flak from the opposition Nationalist Congress Party-Congress-Shiv Sena leaders.
Leader of Opposition, NCP’s Ajit Pawar said that though Shinde is the CM, “it’s the BJP’s government” and for everything, the CM has to get clearance from Delhi.
Ex-Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray took a swipe by comparing Shinde-Fadnavis to a Dev Anand blockbuster, “Hum Dono”, and the superhit song from “Bobby” film – “Hum Tum Ek Kamre Mein Band Ho”.
“The two are locked in the room and the key is lost.. When people at the ‘top’ approve, the cabinet will be expanded,” added Thackeray.
NCP’s chief spokesperson Mahesh Tapase wondered why there’s a reluctance to expand the cabinet, especially when the state is reeling under heavy rains, over 8-lakh hectares of farmlands have been hit and farmers are in sorrow with the downpour.
Political circles rule out any possibility of the Shinde-Fadnavis team being expanded in view of the uncertainties till the apex court verdict is delivered on Monday.
After the MVA government collapsed with Thackeray’s resignation on June 29, Shinde-Fadnavis were sworn-in on June 30 and are functioning as a two-man cabinet since the past 28 days now.

Ajaz Khan’s Troubles Increase – Rape Case Filed for Deceiving Model with False Promise of Marriage

House Arrest Show Had Also Invited the Model
Mumbai: A rape case has been registered against film actor Ajaz Khan at the Charkop Police Station in Mumbai. Ajaz Khan allegedly developed a relationship with a 30-year-old model-actress under the pretense of getting her roles in films and TV serials, and then sexually exploited her. Following this, the victim filed a complaint against him with the police.
Ajaz Khan allegedly had non-consensual sexual relations with the victim on April 4. The police have registered the case under relevant sections of the BNS (Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita), including Sections 69, 74, 64, and 64(2)(M).
Ajaz Khan first met the victim during the “House Arrest” show, which he was hosting. However, the victim later declined to work in the show. Around that time, Ajaz took her phone number and began communicating with her. On March 24, he called her and later initiated video calls, during which he spoke of his belief in God and even tempted her with a promise of marriage.
The victim stated that when she mentioned her sister was still unmarried, Ajaz Khan proceeded to establish a physical relationship with her at Bhoomi Park in Kandivali, against her will. Later, on April 4, he called her to SV Road and sexually exploited her again.

The process of removing loudspeakers from Mumbai mosques has begun, BJP leader Kirit Somaiya has issued notices to mosques due to police pressure.

Mumbai: The process of removing loudspeakers from mosques in Mumbai has now begun. BJP leader Kirit Somaiya, through the Loudspeaker Mukt Mumbai campaign, has now started removing loudspeakers from mosques in the city and suburbs, which is causing resentment among Muslims. Kirit Somaiya today visited Andheri and Kurla VB Nagar police stations and, citing the orders of the state government and the High Court, demanded action against the loudspeakers of mosques. Meanwhile, the police have assured that the loudspeakers of both the constituencies will be removed in the next 10 days. Similarly, action has also been started in Ghatkopar and Vikhroli, a northern suburb of Mumbai. Here, the police have given a notice to Hill No. 4 Madrasa Anjuman Risalat Haq in Ghatkopar, which said It has been ordered that the loudspeaker be removed from here. Citing the violation of noise pollution norms, instructions have been given to remove the loudspeaker and along with this, instructions have been given to install two box-shaped speakers. If the loudspeaker is not removed, legal action will be taken and the loudspeaker will be confiscated.
The process of removing loudspeakers from mosques in Mumbai city and suburbs has now started. Kirit Somaiya has intensified her campaign. Today, while visiting VB Nagar and Andheri police stations, she has also instructed the police to remove the loudspeakers. Mumbai Police has now started sending notices to remove loudspeakers from mosques, which has created a problem of law and order. Despite this, Kirit Somaiya is adamant about removing loudspeakers from mosques. In such a situation, it is also a big challenge for the newly elected Police Commissioner Deven Bharti to maintain law and order. Earlier, to control Kirit Somaiya’s mischief, the police had banned Kirit Somaiya from visiting the Muslim-majority area of Bhandup, but despite this, Kirit Somaiya visited here. Now the atmosphere of hatred has increased so much that this campaign has also created a threat of communal tension.

Maulana Ghulam Mohammad Vastanvi’s assassination is a devastating shock to the Muslim Ummah

Mumbai: The death of Hazrat Maulana Ghulam Mohammad Vastanvi, who was always concerned for the welfare of the Muslim Ummah and set a major milestone in the field of education, is a great tragedy. The pain of which will be felt by every member of the Muslim Ummah.
Paying tribute to this sad demise, Member of Assembly Abu Asim Azmi said that he was a modern scholar and thinker of the ancient style. He presented a moderate and successful combination of ancient and modern sciences before the nation and single-handedly did what many organizations and associations could not have done together. Perhaps this was a blessing in continuing individual efforts with sincerity and a mission instead of trying to become a leader through manipulation politics.
May Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala forgive Maulana, raise his ranks and grant patience to his family, the underprivileged, his students and the wise, Amen.
