Last week, a food stall owner in the Mira Bhayander area was slapped by some MNS workers for not speaking in Marathi. Seven MNS members were later detained and released after the police gave them notice.
Traders of the Bhayander area had protested, demanding action against those who attacked the food stall owner. On Tuesday, MNS held a rally in response to the traders' protest. During this, the workers raised slogans against the government. During this, MNS workers were detained by the police. Earlier, the police had detained MNS leader avinash Jadhav.
Additional CP Datta Shinde said that there was a reason for not allowing the protest due to an incident that happened here earlier. The police are fully alert and are taking legal action to maintain law and order here. The situation is peaceful. We are telling people not to gather here. avinash Jadhav is in custody.
On MNS's counter-protest, maharashtra cm devendra fadnavis said that it would be wrong to say that we did not allow the protest at Mira Road. I have spoken to the commissioner. He told me that the police have not refused to allow the protest. They had sought permission for a meeting. We were giving them that permission, but they wanted to take out a protest march on a route where it was not possible to do so. We asked them to take an alternate route, but they did not agree to it. It would be wrong to say that they were not given permission.
Maharashtra minister Yogesh Ramdas Kadam said there is no politics in this. The location for which they have sought permission may create some problems. We have asked them to change the location, and then permission will be given. But they are not ready to change the location.
