Shiv Sena’s spokesperson, Anand Dubey, has condemned the state’s law and order and demanded that Home Minister Devendra Fadnavis resign. He added that if ministers are unsafe in the state, how could the citizens be protected. He also said criminals are roaming freely and fearlessly around the state and committing heinous crimes. Anand further added:
“If former MLAs are not safe in our city Mumbai, if leaders of the government are not safe then how will this government protect the common people? If they cannot keep their MLAs and former ministers safe then Home Minister Devendra Fadnavis should resign. He has no right to continue as the Home Minister. Eknath Shinde has no right to continue as the CM of the state. There is firing on the streets of Mumbai in broad daylight. Three rounds are being fired and people are being shot at… Is this law and order?… The criminals have no fear… The policies of the Mahayuti and BJP had maligned the politics…”
