MUMBAI
Political parties, such as BJP & Shiv Sena, say the administration is unnecessarily fretting over the Ayodhya verdict.
The right-wing political parties have accused the state government of creating unnecessary tension in the city in the name of Ayodhya verdict that is scheduled to be delivered on Friday.
“The verdict will be out on September 24. Then why are the police and the government trying to create tension from now itself?” Shiv Sena executive president Uddhav Thackeray said, adding that he had instructed his party leaders to maintain peace in the city.
The Sena leader alleged that the government was putting restrictions on mandals by banning processions and celebrations.
“The processions will continue with as before. We will surely try to maintain peace in the city, without a doubt. But if the government tries to put restrictions on the Ganesh immersion processions in the name of law and order, we will not tolerate it. We will not put up with the state-sponsored terrorism,” Thackeray said, adding that chief minister Ashok Chavan and home minister RR Patil had spoken to him on Tuesday to discuss the matter.
Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) city unit president Raj Purohit has also appealed for peace and harmony after the verdict. “There is no tension in the city, but it is present in the government’s mind,” said Purohit. He added that the party would respect the court’s verdict, and affirmed that the party was confident of “getting justice”.
However, Purohit said that if the government made forceful arrests of the party cadres in the name of law and order, they will fight back. “I do not understand why the issue has been hyped so much, especially when the court verdict has not yet come out. Let the court give its verdict and then we will open our strategy,” Purohit added.
Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) has also appealed for peace and harmony in the city. “People in the city have already experienced the horrors of communal riots and nobody wants to witness that ever again,” MNS chief Raj Thackeray said.
In a related development, Himanshu Roy joint commissioner of police, crime, visited Matoshri, the residence of Sena chief Bal Thackeray. The details of his visit were not made public.
