Former Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh has been attacked. He was going towards Katol after finishing the election meeting in Narkhed. Meanwhile, stones were pelted at his car near Belphata on Katol Jalalkheda Road. Deshmukh suffered head injury in this attack. A video of this has also surfaced. In this, blood is seen flowing from Deshmukh’s head. He is undergoing treatment at Max Hospital in Nagpur. As soon as information about this attack was received, a large number of his supporters gathered outside Katol Police Station. The workers raised slogans and sat on strike outside the police station. Their demand is that the police should arrest the attackers as soon as possible.
Sharad Pawar has condemned the attack on Anil Deshmukh. MP Supriya Sule has also reacted to this incident. Supriya said, while returning after campaigning, senior NCP (Sharad Chandra Pawar) leader Anil Deshmukh was attacked by some anti-social elements. This is a very unfortunate and disturbing incident. We all condemn this attack.
Law and order situation worsens under BJP rule
There has never been such a mentality of attacking during elections in the state. Maharashtra is a democratic state. But, under the BJP rule, the law and order situation in our state, especially in Nagpur, has deteriorated. Gangsters have got a free hand. Our demand is that there should be a thorough investigation into this incident. The person who attacked Deshmukh Saheb and his mastermind should be punished.
