NCP leader Fahmida Hasan Khan's letter to Amit Shah comes in the backdrop of a raging controversy in Maharashtra where Amravati MP Navneet Rana and her MLA husband Ravi were arrested after they gave a call for the chanting of Hanuman Chalisa outside Uddhav Thackeray's residence.
Maharashtra minister and NCP leader Jitendra Awhad tweeted the invitation card of the Lata Deenanath Mangeshkar award ceremony which didn't mention the name of Uddhav Thackeray.
Somaiya also alleged this was the third attempt by Uddhav Thackeray to kill him.
In the series of tweets, the BJP leader also mentioned his entire ordeal. He wrote: "There was heavy stone-pelting at Khar police station by Shiv Sena gundas (goons). The window glass of my car was shattered and I got injured."
The MLA-MP duo had backed off from their agitation citing PM Narendra Modi's visit to Mumbai tomorrow. They were arrested just a few hours for allegedly "creating enmity between different groups" after escorting them out of their house in suburban Khar amid high drama.
The Rana duo, who were arrested for inciting people and making provocative statements, had a plan to recite Hanuman Chalisa outside Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray's residence 'Matoshree'.
BJP leader Mohit Kamboj said police must probe the attack and arrest the culprits, adding that he would not back off from exposing corruption despite such acts.
Amravati MP Navneet Rana and her husband and MLA Ravi Rana had said that they would recite the Hanuman Chalisa outside Uddhav Thackeray's residence.
The use of loudspeakers has become a hot-button issue after MNS chief Raj Thackeray earlier this month demanded that loudspeakers at mosques in Maharashtra be removed.
Kudalkar's house is located within the Nehru Nagar Police station limits in Kurla. The police was informed about the incident after which, the DCP himself reached the location.
Raut said cultural processions were taken out in Maharashtra on Gudhi Padwa on April 2 marking the Hindu and Marathi new year, but there was no violence even after these processions passed through Muslim localities.
Earlier in the day, Mumbai police detained four MNS workers for playing Hanuman Chalisa on a loudspeaker in front of the Shiv Sena headquarters in the Dadar area.
Raut's phone was allegedly tapped two times in 2019 by the state Intelligence Department, which was then headed by Shula, when talks about the formation of the MVA government comprising Sena, NCP and Congress were on after the results of the state Assembly polls.
The scuffle between BJP and Shiv Sena continues in Maharashtra. After ED's action against Sanjay Raut, FIR has been registered against BJP leader Kirit Somaiya.
Earlier on Wednesday, Shiv Sena's Sanjay Ruat had alleged that Kirit Somaiya siphoned off Rs 57 crore that was crowd-funded to 'save' INS Vikrant -- the country's first aircraft carrier.
The Enforcement Directorate had on Tuesday attached assets worth more than Rs 11.15 crore of Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut's wife and two of his associates in a money-laundering investigation.
Sanjay Raut said that PM Narendra Modi and Union Minister Amit Shah should see the INS Vikrant 'files' and take action against BJP leader Kirit Somaiya.
ED issued a provisional attachment under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) to freeze the land parcels (plots) and flat linked to Sanjay Raut.
As per the book, 'ugly girls can be married off with attractive dowry with well or ugly looking boys'.
Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut had earlier said that action taken by Central agencies like the Enforcement Directorate in Maharashtra was an attack on the state Home department which needs to be strengthened.
