Mumbai:  A day after his release from jail, Rajya Sabha member and Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut on Thursday reached Thackeray’s private residence in Mumbai and met the former chief minister of Maharashtra Uddhav Thackeray.

Speaking to the media outside his residence after meeting Raut, the Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray said that Raut’s aggression will be the same as it was before. “We are really happy to have Sanjay back. He is not only a leader or an MP of the party, but he is my special friend, and his return will boost the voice of our party,” said Thackeray.

Thackeray even compared Raut’s aggression in politics with “Cannon”, and said that a cannon is always a cannon. “Raut was silent for some time, but now he has come out and he is going to roar again,” said Thackeray.

Raut was arrested by the enforcement directorate (ED) on August 1 in connection with alleged financial irregularities in the redevelopment of the Patra Chawl in suburban Goregaon in Mumbai.

On June 28 this year, he was summoned by the ED in connection to the prevention of the money laundering case pertaining to the Rs1034 crore Patra Chawl land scam.

Raut was released by a special court in Mumbai on bail on Wednesday, and his release is considered a relief for the Maha Vikas Aghadi alliance before the municipal elections.

Commenting on Raut’s release from jail, the Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray said that the court’s order has proved that the Central government was misusing the agencies against the opposition.

“This is very clear that the government agencies like ED were being used to break the opposition parties and its leaders,” he said, adding that the judiciary is the only hope of justice left in the country.

Sanjay has shown us how to fight without letting his self-respect down, the Shiv Sena chief added.

Rahul Gandhi Accuses Centre Of Trying To Silence Opposition Voices

Rahul Gandhi

Rahul Gandhi on Thursday, took a swipe at the ruling Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) saying that the central government tried to silence the opposition voices in the Parliament using gimmicks such as cutting-off mics during crucial discussions.

Nanded:  Rahul Gandhi on Thursday, took a swipe at the ruling Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) saying that the central government tried to silence the opposition voices in the Parliament using gimmicks such as cutting-off mics during crucial discussions.

The Congress leader and Wayanad MP said this while addressing a rally at Nanded, Maharashtra, as part of Congress’s Bharat Jodo Yatra. In his address, Gandhi listed out several past instances, where according to him, the mic had been cut-off in the parliament.

He alleged that the mic of opposition speakers was often cut-off when they tried to talk about demonetisation, or when they tried to talk about inflation, unemployment, or when the scheme of Agnipath was launched. “We tried to have a discussion, but the mic was cut off so that people’s voices can’t be expressed in the Parliament house,” he alleged.

Gandhi further alleged that when China entered 2000 square kilometres into Indian territory during the Galwan Valley clash and the opposition tried to discuss the issue in the parliament, the government tried to silence their voices.

He even replicated the incident live by cutting off and resuming his mic from the stage. He declared that “this is what they have done to our Parliament.”

Addressing Prime Minister Narendra Modi directly, he declared, “Prime Minister, listen carefully – you cannot suppress the voice of the people, its echo will break your ego”.

Rahul’s statement comes on the last day of the Election Campaign for the upcoming Himachal Pradesh elections.

Meanwhile, earlier, while addressing a gathering in the Nanded district of Maharashtra during Bharat Jodo Yatra, Gandhi had alleged that “BJP and RSS agenda is fixed. They first developed fear into people’s mind, and then convert that fear into hate between religions and castes. We will continue our Bharat Jodo Yatra and it will end in Jammu and Kashmir in Srinagar.”

Slamming the Centre over demonetization, Rahul Gandhi said that the BJP government’s decision destroyed poor farmers, small businessmen, shop owners and others.

As of now, the Congress is aggressively campaigning for the change of power in Himachal Pradesh on the last day of campaigning with the participation of star campaigners including party general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra holding a door-to-door campaign in Shimla.

The grand old party is holding rallies in all 68 assembly constituencies in Himachal Pradesh on the last day of the campaign calling it a “Vijay Ashirwad Rally”.

The elections in Himachal will take place on November 12, and the counting of votes will take place on December 8.
