Former minister of state for home Bhai Vaidya, CPM leader Ajit Abhyankar and other leaders of various parties condemned the MLAs  Kshitij Thakur and Ram Kadam for attacking a police officer. They also demanded that the footage showing the act should be made public.

A demonstration was staged by various political parties and NGOs at Tilak Chowk near Alka Theatre in this regard on Monday.  

Communist Party of India (Marxist), Janata Dal (Secular), Aam Aadmi Party, Socialist Party of India, Rashtra Seva Dal, Bhrashtachar Nirmoolan Sangharsh Trust, Pune Janhit Aghadi and other organisations participated in the demonstrations.

Besides Vaidya and Abhyankar, Vidya Bal, Subhash Ware, Maruti Bhapkar, Siddharth Dhende, Vitthal Satav, Varsha Gupte, Vinay Hardikar and others led the demonstrations.

A memorandum signed by all the leaders and people of Pune will be sent to the speaker of legislative assembly Dilip Walse-Patil in this regard.

“Through their behaviour, the MLAs have shown that the laws they legislate are not applicable to them. If all the MLAs across the party lines halt the House for backing these suspended MLAs, we will protest against them,” said Vaidya.

Abhyankar said that the suspension of these MLAs should not be lifted at any cost. “On one hand, the government is backing the suspended MLAs and on the other hand, it is moving a privilege motion against the journalists trying to suppress people’s voice. The footage must be made public as it will reveal the true colours of the MLAs,” said Abhyankar.

Activist Bal said, “MLAs are elected representatives of the people and are here to serve them.
They are not the masters, but the servants of society. They should not terrorise the media by moving privilege motions.”
