State politics are hot ahead of the Maharashtra Assembly elections. Uddhav faction leader and Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Arvind Sawant has made a controversial statement about Shiv Sena (Shinde faction) leader Shaina NC. After this, Shaina NC lodged an FIR against Arvind Sawant at Nagpada police station. We told you that Arvind Sawant had called Shaina ‘imported goods’ in a statement.
What did Arvind Sawant say?
When Shaina NC was named Mahayuti candidate, Arvind Sawant said that look at her condition… she remained in BJP all her life. I got the Shiv Sena ticket from Eknath Shinde. Imported will not work here. We sell original products here. Amin Patel is the original candidate.
Let us tell you that Eknath Shinde’s Shiv Sena has declared Shaina NC as its candidate from Mumbadevi seat. He will take on Congress candidate and sitting MP Amin Patel. Shaina NC is a fashion designer by profession and a famous personality in the glamorous world of Mumbai.
Shaina NC expressed her discontent
Shaina NC expressed displeasure over Arvind Sawant’s statement and said that he cannot respect a woman. A capable woman, who is professional and reaches politics. Do you use those words for them? We all worked for you under Modiji’s leadership in 2014 and 2019. That is why you are in this situation. Now you are in trouble because you called a woman ‘Maal’. After this, Shaina NC reached the police station with her followers and lodged a complaint against Arvind Sawant. On the complaint, the police have registered an FIR against group MP Uddhav.
Milind Deora targeted Arvind Sawant
Shiv Sena (Shinde faction) leader and candidate from Worli seat Milind Deora said Arvind Sawant calling Shaina NC ‘maal’ is completely disgusting. He has also made similar objectionable comments about Muslims in the past. If there is any “imported good”, it is Arvind Sawant, who has been elected MLA from South Mumbai.
NCW demanded action
In this matter, National Commission for Women chairperson Vijaya Kishore Rahatkar termed Arvind Sawant’s comments as “grossly inappropriate” and demanded that the police and the Election Commission take action on the matter. In a post on Twitter, the newly appointed CNM president said it is unacceptable for a responsible public representative to make such statements about women, especially during the holy occasion of Diwali and Lakshmi Puja.
