Mumbai: Deputy CM Eknath Shinde said the “gaddar” issue was settled by Election Commission, Supreme Court, and most importantly, the people of the state who re-elected the Mahayuti govt.
Replying to the opposition motion on governance and deteriorating law and order situation in the state, Shinde attacked the opposition that came out in support of Kunal Kamra. Shinde said Congress state president Harshvardhan Sapkal called CM Fadnavis “Aurangazeb” and warned him to be careful. “Gaddar, Gaddar, Gaddar… you will have to shut shop. EC and SC have given their verdict, and the ‘janata’ too has given its verdict on who is ‘gaddar’ and ‘Khuddar’,” Shinde said.
He said some people (“pakhandi”) were being pushed by the opposition (“Shikandi”) who keep talking of freedom of expression and individual freedom while constantly referring to the Constitution. “Where was the Constitution when the merchant navy officer was beaten up, Pranit More was beaten, Ketaki Chitale was arrested, action against Malishka, action for reciting Hanuman Chalisa? A conspiracy was hatched to arrest Fadnavis and others in a fake case. Where was your Constitution when a bomb was placed near an industrialist’s home, when Narayan Rane was arrested, when Kangana Ranaut’s home was demolished?” he asked.
