Ruckus prevailed on the second day of the monsoon session of the Maharashtra Assembly, after the Shiv Sena moved a breach of privilege motion against Republic TV’s Managing Director Arnab Goswami. Moving the privilege motion against Goswami, Sena MLA Pratap Sarnaik accused him of violating the ‘freedom of expression’ and making uncharitable remarks against CM Uddhav Thackeray. Deputy Speaker Narhari Zirwal, who is the presiding authority, ruled that “action as per legislative rules” be taken on the Sarnaik’s proposal.  A privilege motion was also moved against film actor Kangana Ranaut over her remarks comparing Mumbai to Pakistan occupied Kashmir in the Maharashtra Legislative Council. Ramraje Naik Nimbalkar, Maharashtra Legislative Council Chairman, accepted both the motions.
