Maharashtra Assembly Speaker Rahul Narwekar on Tuesday instructed the State government to establish a Special Investigation Team (SIT) for a comprehensive inquiry into the contentious remarks made by pro-Maratha quota activist Manoj Jarange-Patil against Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.
The issue was brought to light by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA Ashish Shelar during the Lower House proceedings, where he denounced provocative language that incites violence, stressing its incompatibility with democratic views.
He demanded an investigation into the ‘orchestrators’ behind Mr. Jarange-Patil’s actions, which he claimed aimed at creating ‘unrest’ in the western State.
