Saamana editorial calls Param Bir Singh a BJP 'pawn'

The Shiv Sena on Monday said that the goal of the Opposition seems to be to claim that the law and order situation has deteriorated and to impose President’s rule in the state, and that “new pawns” are being created for this.

An editorial in the Saamana said, the ultimate goal of the Opposition in Maharashtra seems to be to blame that law and order situation has deteriorated and then to impose President’s rule in the state. For it, the new pawns are being created. It is now clear that Param Bir Singh is being used for this. It said that the allegations levelled by the former Mumbai police commissioner have tarnished the image of the Home Department.

The editorial added that excessive use of central investigating agencies is being done by the Opposition in the state. While the Governor is doing various things, the Union government is playing a game of pressure through central investigating agencies.
