“Chhaava’s film turned on people’s anger against Aurangzeb,” said Maharashtra’s prime minister, Devendra Fadnavis, while talking about Nagpur’s clashes in the state assembly. At least 30 people were injured, and several vehicles were carbonized during the violent clashes that exploded in the Hansapuri area of the city on Monday night.
The prime minister also reiterated the claim of “planned attack” of the leaders of the Bharatiya Janata (BJP) party and assured that strict measures will be taken against those involved in the clashes.
“The Chhaava movie has turned on people’s anger against Aurangzeb yet, everyone must keep Maharashtra Pacifica,” he said blaming Vicky Kaushal’s biographical film by Chhatrapati Sambhaji.
Speaking at the Assembly about the violence of Nagpur, he added: “In Nagpur, Vishwa Hindu Parishad and Bajrang Dal maintained protests. Rumors extended that the things that contained religious content burned … It looks like a well -planned attack. No one has permission to take law and order in their hands.”
The deputy of Maharashtra, CM Eknath Shinde, condemned Nagpur’s violence, calling it a planned attack previously intended to spread communal disturbances.
“The incident that took place very unfortunate. Around 2,000 to 3,000 people gathered and attacked the houses in Mominpura, Chitnis Nagar and other areas. They asked for stones and attacked … Does this mean that this was planned … not only attacked the common people, but also attacked police officers? The investigation and any of the people behind this will not be saved,” Shinde said.
Cale touch in Nagpur
Meanwhile, a political row broke out with opposition leaders blaming state and central governments for the situation of law and order in the city.
The leader of Congress, Renuka Chowdhury, gave a suspension notice in Rajya Sabha about the ‘complete breakdown of harmony and community order and order in the Maharashtra district.
“That this house suspends the zero hour and the relevant rules that relate the time of the question and other businesses scheduled to deliberate on the complete breakdown of harmony and community order and order in Nagpur, Maharashtra. In its 300 years of dynamic existence, Nagpur has never experienced disturbances,” said the notice.
A curfew has been imposed on several Nagpur areas after violence broke out on Monday night for a call to move the tomb of Emperor Mogol Aurengzeb de Maharashtra. More than 60 rioters were arrested, and some 30 vehicles were burned after a massive shock between two groups in the city of Mahal of the city.
