Maha legislature: Oppn members stage demonstration, accuse Shinde govt of corruption
Nagpur (PTI): Opposition members staged a demonstration by taking out a foot march like 'warkaris' in the Maharashtra legislature complex on Tuesday and accused the Eknath Shinde-led state government of indulging in corruption.
On Monday, both Houses of the Maharashtra legislature were adjourned for the day after the opposition stalled the proceedings demanding Agriculture Minister Abdul Sattar's resignation over a land 'regularisation' order passed by him when he was a minister in the previous Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government.
The Nagpur bench of the Bombay High Court last week issued a notice to Sattar who had ordered 'regularisation' of the possession of land reserved for public 'gairan' (grazing) in favour of a private person in the face of a civil court order.
Earlier, the opposition members had also demanded Chief Minister Shinde's resignation after a Nagpur bench of the HC on December 14 ordered status quo on a decision taken by him of allotment of land meant for slum dwellers to private persons when he was a minister in the previous Uddhav Thackeray-led MVA.
Shinde had denied any wrongdoing and the HC on December 22 accepted the withdrawal of the order of regularisation issued by the CM recently and observed it was treating the matter as closed.
On Tuesday, opposition members led Leader of Opposition in the Legislative Council Ambadas Danve took out a foot march in the Vidhan Bhavan complex like 'warkaris' do while setting out on a pilgrimage to a temple of Lord Vitthal in Pandharpur town.
They rang bells and chanted slogans, accusing CM Shinde and some state ministers including Sattar of indulging in corruption.
Leader of Opposition in the Assembly Ajit Pawar, Shiv Sena (UBT) legislator Aaditya Thackeray, Congress leader Nana Patole and others joined the demonstration.

All police officers & staff in Karnataka given training on new criminal laws: DGP Alok Mohan
Bengaluru (PTI): All police officers and staff in Karnataka have been given training on the new criminal laws which came into effect in the country on Monday, state DGP Alok Mohan said.
The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) and the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA) take into account some of the current social realities and modern-day crimes.
The new laws replaced the British-era Indian Penal Code, Code of Criminal Procedure and the Indian Evidence Act, respectively.

From Monday, all fresh FIRs will be registered under the BNS. However, cases filed earlier will continue to be tried under the old laws till their final disposals.
The new laws brought in a modern justice system, incorporating provisions such as Zero FIR, online registration of police complaints, summonses through electronic modes such as SMS and mandatory videography of crime scenes for all heinous crimes, it was noted.
