Ministers, money, viral videos: Maharashtra MLC for SIT inquiry
Mumbai: Shiv Sena (UBT) MLC Anil Parab demanded an SIT inquiry of ministers who "appear in viral videos with bags of money" and publicly offer to provide funds at events. He demanded a discussion on digitisation fraud, which he said reached the minister's bedroom. Raising the issue in the council on Monday, Parab said the govt brought the Public Safety Bill, but instead of public safety, the question of ministers' security has arisen in the state. "Ministers are not safe in their own homes; how can ordinary citizens be safe? Bags of money are visible in their viral videos. These ministers say in public programmes that if money falls short, they will provide it," said Parab. Criticising Shinde Sena MLAs, he said videos of the "chaddi-baniyan gang" or "chaddi-towel gang" are circulating in Maharashtra. He said, "Give these ministers clothes."
