Bawankule criticizes Uddhav for opposing Maharashtra Security Bill
Nagpur: Revenue minister and senior BJP leader Chandrashekhar Bawankule criticised Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray for criticising the Maharashtra Special Public Security bill, saying the former CM must keep the interests of the state in mind. Bawankule said he headed the draft bill committee, which also included opposition leaders, and claimed that it received unanimous support. The bill has been passed by both houses of the legislature and will now be sent to the governor, after which it will finally become a law. "Uddhav Ji, please for once think for Maharashtra's benefit. Think of our youth who will benefit from this bill," said Bawankule, while addressing the media in Nagpur on Saturday. "We put the draft in the public domain and it received support from the public too. Over 12,000 citizens responded to the draft. Generations will be saved because of this law, and the entire Naxal system will collapse. Now, even if after this Uddhav Ji wants to criticise, then God bless him," he added. The opposition to the bill is 'political', said Bawankule. "In the joint committee for the draft bill, I sat down with senior leaders like leader of opposition in the legislative council Ambadas Danve (Shiv Sena UBT), Congress' Vijay Wadettiwar, Nana Patole, NCP (SP) leader Jayant Patil and discussed things in detail. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like She Took 1 Teaspoon Before Bed – Her Belly Was Gone in a Week Hollywood News | USA Click Here Undo We had almost five meetings for this and they all went over the draft clause by clause. All of them supported the bill and any statements given otherwise are simply for political compulsions," said Bawankule. He said the bill is not against any political party. "It's against the movement which is taking our youths towards the Naxalite movement. All organisations which propagate such types of ideologies will now be cornered," said Bawankule. "We have seen that such organisations are active in urban areas, in places like universities, and misleading our youth into the Naxalite movement. Everything will now stop due to this bill," he added.
