Don't sign Maharashtra Special Public Security Bill, send it back to state govt, Maha Vikas Aghadi urges governor
Mumbai: A delegation of the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA), led by Shiv Sena (UBT) MLC Ambadas Danve, called on governor C P Radhakrishnan on Friday and urged him not to sign the Maharashtra Special Public Security Bill 2024. The delegation also demanded that the governor send the bill back to the state govt and ask for it to be reconsidered by the legislature. Congress MLA Vijay Wadettiwar said the Maharashtra Special Public Security Bill 2024 was passed without taking the opposition into confidence or allowing them to speak. "We had some objections to the bill, but we were not taken into confidence or asked about our suggestions. This bill will be used to hide failures of the state govt and suppress those who speak against it," he said. "There are many laws, so what was the need for this bill? This is not a public security bill, but a govt security bill. If this bill is for leftist ideology then tomorrow, those who commit extremist acts, any anti-national acts in this state, will action be taken based on ideology? Because an extremist is an extremist. Whether he is leftist or right wing, we have presented a clear position to the governor in this regard. We have told the governor that this bill is an attack on the rights of the common man and the Indian Constitution. Therefore, we have demanded that he send the bill back to the state govt for reconsideration," Wadettiwar added.

"This incident has tarnished Maharashtra's image not only in the country, but also around the world. Legal action should be taken against the goons who carry out such attacks," he said. "We did not make a demand for President's rule, but we discussed improving the law and order situation in the state. Nowadays, accused are seen roaming with ministers and ruling party MLAs. Recently, a goon in Pune raised a ruckus in the police station."
