Nagpur Violence: Opposition Blames Maharashtra Government for Intelligence Failure
In a recent uproar, opposition parties have strongly criticized the Maharashtra government regarding the law and order situation in the state, particularly following the violent incidents in Nagpur. The unrest erupted during a Vishwa Hindu Parishad agitation, where a mob was reportedly incited by rumors of a community’s holy book being burned. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis described the violence as a “premeditated conspiracy” targeting specific establishments.
Intelligence Failure Allegations
During the legislative assembly, opposition leader Vijay Wadettiwar raised concerns about the government’s preparedness. “Who lit the fire there? If the violence was pre-planned, it indicates an intelligence failure,” he stated, criticizing the police’s delayed response. He emphasized that police were absent for over an hour after the chaos began, raising questions about the state’s emergency management.
Calls for Accountability
Congress leader Nana Patole demanded a discussion in the Vidhan Sabha to address the issue, emphasizing that the government seemed more focused on destruction than on upholding the legacy of revered figures like Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Meanwhile, Congress MP Rajiv Shukla called for a thorough investigation into the incidents, highlighting that maintaining peace in Maharashtra is crucial.
Rising Crime Rates
Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray lamented the deteriorating law and order situation, pointing out a rise in violent crimes, including kidnappings and assaults. He attributed this failure to the Home Department’s ineffectiveness under the Chief Minister’s leadership.
Taking Action
In response to the violence, a curfew has been imposed in several areas of Nagpur, with police arresting 50 individuals, including minors. The investigation continues as authorities analyze the sequence of events and the roles of those involved.
