‘No permission taken’: Mumbai police files FIR against organisers of Thackerays' ‘Garjana Morcha’ march
Uddhav Thackeray accused the BJP of using the Election Commission to pursue political vendettas, while Congress leader Balasaheb Thorat called for unity.
Mumbai police have filed an FIR against the organizers of the 'Virat Garjana Morcha' protest, claiming it was conducted without the necessary permits. The rally, attended by opposition leaders and Thackeray cousins, demanded the scrapping of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls and the removal of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
Uddhav Thackeray, cousin of MNS chief Raj Thackeray, accused the BJP of using power for political vendettas, labeling Gyanesh Kumar as a "weapon" of the party. Congress leader Balasaheb Thorat urged unity to protect democracy and the Constitution, while BJP minister Ashish Shelar derided the joint protest as a 'kolhekui morcha' (march of foxes).
