Maharashtra Minister Defies Own Govt To Join MNS Rally, Gets Heckled By Protesters | Marathi Row

Maharashtra Transport Minister Pratap Sarnaik has openly criticized his own government over the denial of permission for a Marathi rally in Mira Road. Sarnaik joined the MNS-led protest and challenged the police to arrest him. The Marathi Ekikaran Samiti and other groups had applied for the rally but were refused permission due to public safety and traffic concerns. This followed a viral video showing MNS workers slapping a food stall owner over a language dispute. Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis condemned the MNS for defying police orders, urging all groups to follow democratic procedures. On July 8, MNS supporters resisted police, leading to several detentions, including party leader Avinash Jadhav.#pratapsarnaik #miraroad #mnsprotest #maharashtrapolitics #languagedispute #avinashjadhav #devendrafadnavis #marathipride #policedetention #toi #toibharat
