Letter war: CM Thackeray asks Guv Koshyari to request Centre for special session on crimes against women

bhagat singh koshyari, guv, governor, letter of war, uddhav thackeray, cm thackeray, maharashtra governor, letter to cm, cm, shiv senaDays after Maharashtra Governor BS Koshyari wrote a letter for convening a special session of the state Assembly against the backdrop of the Sakinaka rape and murder, Chief Minster Uddhav Thackeray has hit back saying Koshyari should request the Centre to call a session of Parliament to discuss issues concerning the safety of women and growing attacks on them.

In his letter to the governor written on Monday, Thackeray gave figures of crimes against women in BJP-ruled states including Uttarakhand, the home state of Koshyari. He stated that such ”instructions” by the governor could stoke a new controversy” and are damaging to the democratic Parliamentary procedures.

Koshyari had recently written to the CM asking to convene a special session of the state legislature. In his letter, the CM said he had taken cognisance of Koshyari’s concerns regarding the safety of women. “I can understand your feelings for calling a special session of the Maharashtra Assembly against the backdrop of the Sakinaka incident in Mumbai. Your soul is of a political worker. However, the instructions given by you could stoke a new controversy,” Thackeray wrote.

A 34-year-old woman was allegedly raped inside a stationary tempo parked on the roadside in the Sakinaka area in Mumbai earlier this month. The accused, a 45-year-old man, brutalised the victim by inserting a rod in her private parts. The woman died during treatment at a hospital. “It is damaging to Parliamentary democratic procedures that governor also makes the same demand being made by those who are opposing the state government. The state is taking firm steps to curb such incidents,” the CM stated.

“Uttarakhand, your home state, is also known as Devbhoomi. The government data shows that attacks on women have been increased by 150 per cent. Can a special session be called there?” Thackeray asked.

He wrote that 14,229 women had gone missing in neighbouring Gujarat in the last two years. “The Gujarat police report says that at least 14 women daily face rape or sexual assault. Going by such high numbers, Gujarat would need at least a month-long session. Despite many attacks on women in Uttar Pradesh, the BJP has not made any demand for a special session,” Thackeray stated.

The Raj Bhavan and the Sena-led MVA government shares frosty relations as the governor has not yet approved a list of 12 persons sent by the state government for their nomination as Member of Legislative Council from the gubernatorial quota.

Last year, the governor had written a letter to the CM demanding the immediate re-opening of places of worship and mockingly asked if Uddhav Thackeray had turned “secular”. The chief minister had responded by questioning the governor’s belief in secularism and said “Isn’t secularism a key component of the Constitution, by which you swore while taking oath as the state governor?”
