Mumbai, March 25
Union Minister of State for Social Justice Ramdas Athawale on Thursday met President Ram Nath Kovind and sought President's rule in Maharashtra in the wake of former Mumbai Police chief Param Bir Singh's allegation of corruption against the state Home Minister, and the Sachin Waze episode.
Athawale met the President in New Delhi. Talking to reporters after the meeting, the minister said, "I submitted a memorandum of demands to Kovind and urged him to impose President's rule in Maharashtra. He told me that he will think about my demand."
'Probe welcome if CM orders it'
I had demanded the Chief Minister to order a probe into Param Bir Singh's allegation against me to clear the air. I will welcome if the CM orders probe. —Anil Deshmukh, Maharashtra Home Minister
"One police officer Sachin Waze plants explosives near the residence of businessman (Mukesh Ambani), while Home Minister Anil Deshmukh allegedly gives the target of collecting Rs 100 crore per month to senior police officers. This is a serious situation in the state," he said. There should be a probe against Deshmukh as he was under suspicion at this moment, Athawale said. — PTI
