Taking potshots at BMC mayor Kishori Pednekar, BJP MLA Nitesh Rane said she was helping the latter in the fight to get justice for Disha Salian. Rane was referring to Pednekar’s visit to the Salian family and a letter written to the State Women’s Commission in this regard.
“Despite instructions from Sanjay Raut (Shiv Sena leader) not to talk on Salian issue, Pednekar went ahead with it. She wrote a letter to the women’s commission and also met her family members with media,” Rane said.
The BJP MLA termed Pednekar’s move as “impatient”. “In the past, she had admitted that their ‘prince’ is called a penguin. She is getting impatient perhaps due to the announcement made by Shiv Sena of not to give tickets for corporators above 45 years old,” he said.
Nitesh Rane recalled that a controversial Kini murder case was unearthed in the past to clip wings of current MNS chief Raj Thackeray. “Similarly, Salian controversy has been brought back by Shiv Sena to prevent Aditya Thackeray’s Yuva Sena from getting the centre stage in politics,” he added.
The BJP leader also thanked Pednekar and said she was helping BJP by raising the Salian issue.
Salian was a former secretary of late Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput. She had committed suicide a few days before the actor committed the same act.
