In Maharashtra polictics, allegation against the home minister Anil Deshmukh has created a storm. Deshmukh has been accused by former Mumbai police commissioner Param Bir Singh of asking arrested police officer Sachin Vaze to extort Rs 100 crore a month from the city’s bars and restaurants. NCP chief Sharad Pawar said on Sunday that allegations against Deshmukh are serious. "It is the prerogative of the CM Uddhav Thackeray to take appropriate action into the allegations," Pawar said at a press conference on the issue in New Delhi, adding, "There has to be in depth inquiry by such an officer who enjoy full respect in police administration."
Pawar has said, “We will discuss the resignation as well. Whatever alternative comes, will see. Even resignation is one alternative.” He also added, “I can't say if the probe will reach Param Bir Singh. I would suggest Uddhav Thackeray to seek former IPS officer Julio Ribeiro's help for looking into the claims made by Param Bir Singh.” "Reinstating Vaze after 16 years and giving him an important posting were decisions taken by ex-commmissioner of police in Mumbai. And the allegations have been levelled by Singh after his removal from the post," Pawar said. All I can say is they will have no impact on the government, Pawar said.
Meanwhile, Congress leader and former party MP Sanjay Nirupam has tweeted that the party must take a stand on the allegations of corruptions made by former Mumbai police commissioner Param Bir Singh against Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh.
If at all, whatever Parambir Singh is saying is truth, question should be asked from Hon Sharad Pawar ji because he is the arcitect of current Maharashtra Govt. Is it what the so called third front is going to do finally ?
