Maharashtra Chief Minister and State Governor spar over reopening locations of worship throughout the State.
In one more face-off between Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari and Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray over opening of temples within the State, the latter instructed Mr. Koshyari that he does not require certificates of Hindutva from the Governor.
Mr. Koshyari, who had been visited by a number of delegations of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders demanding opening of temples, had despatched a letter to Mr. Thackeray on October 12. The letter made political feedback asking Mr. Thackeray as to whether or not he has all of the sudden turned “secular” and whether or not he’s receiving “divine premonition” to hold suspending reopening of locations of worships.
Replying to Mr. Koshyari, the Maharashtra CM in his letter of October 13 stated, “I appreciate the mention of Hindutva in your letter, but my Hindutva does not require your certificate. My Hindutva does not appreciate welcoming a person with a smile, who termed my state or the capital of my state as Pakistan Occupied Kashmir.” Actor Kangana Ranaut who had termed Mumbai as PoK was allowed a go to by Mr. Koshyari at Raj Bhavan.
“Do you consider opening temples as Hindutva and not opening them as secularism? Then what about the Constitution on which you were sworn in as Governor? Secularism is a core of Constitution. Don’t you follow Constitution?” requested Mr. Thackeray.
“You seem puzzled as to whether I get divine premonition. I am not as great as you are and therefore I have no such experiences like you. I only observe good and bad things happening in other states and work honestly to do better in Maharashtra,” he stated.
Taunting Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s abrupt name for lockdown, Mr. Thackeray stated, “Government’s priority is to save their lives while safeguarding their emotions and beliefs. As it is wrong to abruptly implement lockdown, it is wrong to suddenly revoke it,” he stated, informing that the State authorities is presently enterprise ‘My family, My responsibility’ marketing campaign which concerned door-to-door well being check-up. “Maharashtra is the only state in the country to do so,” he stated.
Exposing the politics behind the demand of opening locations of worshipping, Mr Thackeray stated all three letters connected by Mr. Koshyari have been from the BJP and its supporters. “It could be a coincidence. Let that be. The state government is seriously thinking over these demands and decision in this regard will be taken at the earliest,” stated Mr Thackeray.
