Uddhav has nothing to do with action against Somaiya: Sanjay Raut
The Hindu
There is no need for BJP to blame CM in regard to Somaiya’s detention, he says
After the BJP slammed the Uddhav Thackeray-led Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government for, Sena MP and its chief spokesperson Sanjay Raut said the Chief Minister's Office (CMO) had nothing to do with the action taken against Mr. Somaiya.
Refuting speculation that there were divisions within the MVA over the action taken against Mr. Somaiya, Mr. Raut contended that the Home Department, which was in the Nationalist Congress Party’s (NCP) kitty, might have taken the step only after it thought that a possible law and problem could have arisen due to Mr. Somaiya’s .
“I have discussed the issue with the Chief Minister [Uddhav Thackeray]... he said that his office had nothing to do with it. At the same time, if Mr. Somaiya indeed has evidence against [NCP Minister] Hasan Mushrif as he claims, then there are agencies within the State that are capable of tackling his complaints. But if you [Mr. Somaiya] are making allegations against MVA Ministers on the orders of the [BJP-ruled] Central government and if as a result of that, there is a question of law and order in the State, then our Home Ministry has full authority to take action to prevent such a situation,” said Mr. Raut.
