Mumbai: The Bombay
High Court Friday admitted a PIL demanding action against Deputy
Chief Minister Ajit Pawar and Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj
Thackeray for their recent verbal spat which led to clashes
between their party workers in different parts of the state.
The petitioner, social activist Hemant Patil has also demanded
that the court direct the state police chief or any other
investigation agency or commission to conduct a detailed probe
into these verbal spats which resulted in violent outbursts.
Patil has named the state of Maharashtra, the police chief, Home
Minister R. R. Patil, Pawar and Thackeray as respondents in the
petition, which is likely to come for hearing shortly.
In the PIL, which came up before a division bench of Justice A.M.
Khanvilkar and Justice A.P. Bhangale, Patil has said that
Thackeray, who recently undertook a tour of different parts of the
state, has been engaged in a verbal spat with Pawar and others.
When Thackeray's vehicular convoy was passing in Ahmednagar Feb
27, it was shown black flags and pelted with stones, allegedly by
activists of Pawar's Nationalist Congress Party (NCP).
Following this incident, there were violent reactions by MNS
workers who clashed with NCP activists all over Maharashtra,
causing widespread damage to public and private properties.
The tempers cooled only after fervent appeals by NCP president
Sharad Pawar and state NCP chief Madhukarrao Pichad and Thackeray
also backtracked on his aggressive plans.
Patil contended out that besides Pawar, Thackeray has targeted the
NCP and its chief and union Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde and
state Home Minister Patil, but there has been no action on the
part of the authorities.
"In the interest of justice, the court direct respondents (the
police chief, state home minister) to initiate action against
respondents (Thackeray and Pawar) for committing breach of peace,"
Patil demanded in the PIL.
