CM Fadnavis says 'Chhava' film fueled public anger



The chief minister also alleged that the violence was premeditated. “Police recovered a tempo full of stones and weapons. In the morning, after skirmishes, the situation was under control, but by evening, things escalated. This shows the violence was preplanned,” Fadnavis said.The opposition has blamed the MahaYuti government for provoking the unrest by revisiting the 400-year-old issue of Aurangzeb’s tomb. Congress Legislative Party leader Vijay Wadettiwar accused BJP ministers of making inflammatory statements over the last 15 days, causing enmity between communities.“Maintaining law and order is the responsibility of the incumbent government, but here, the government and its ministers are encouraging the violence that burned Nagpur and tarnished the image of a progressive and secular Maharashtra,” Wadettiwar said.Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut criticised Fadnavis for deflecting responsibility onto a Bollywood film. “By blaming ‘Chhava’ for the Nagpur violence, Fadnavis is shrugging off his responsibility. He is the home minister and hails from Nagpur, so he must have been aware of what was going to happen. Despite that, he did not prevent or contain the violence,” Raut said.He further alleged that the BJP and its leaders were attempting to incite communal riots to divert attention from real issues. “Peace-loving people must come together to maintain law and order in the state,” he added.
