Rana Treated Poorly In Jail: Fadnavis
Mumbai, April 25: Leader of Opposition and former Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Monday accused the Mumbai Police and jail authorities of mistreating Amravati MP Navneet Rana in the Byculla Jail.
He told the media that the MP was not given drinking water and not allowed to go to the washroom at night.
During a press conference, Fadnavis said that the Sena was afraid of one woman. “The whole government machinery is scared of one woman. It is very shameful to keep a woman in custody overnight when no charges are proved against her. The way the government has acted against the Rana family shows that reciting Hanuman Chalisa is not correct”.
He said: “We received an invitation from Maharashtra Home Minister Dilip Walse Patil for an all-party meeting today but we didn’t go in view of what has happened in the last few days. If someone has taken the role of Hitler, we felt it’s better to fight”, Fadnavis said.
Rana is lodge in the Byculla women’s jail while her MLA husband Ravi Rana is in Taloja jail, Navi Mumbai.
