Ranas’ issue: BJP demands apology, Sena says ‘no chance’

The Hindu  

A day after the release of the Rana couple from jail after securing bail from the sessions court, the BJP demanded an apology from the Maharashtra government for slapping on them the sedition charge, which the court observed ‘may not have sufficient grounds.’ The ruling Shiv Sena said the observations in the bail order would get answered when the trial in the case begins and the BJP should also be aware about observations passed against Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari by the Bombay High Court. Fadnavis’ comment Leader of Opposition in assembly and BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis said, “The court has exposed the draconian and undemocratic policies and actions of this MVA government to shut the dissenting voices. Will the government now apologise for wrongly confining the public representatives?” Leader of Opposition in the State Council Pravin Darekar said the court observation was a tight slap on the misgovernance of the government. Shiv Sena leader and Transport Minister Anil Parab said there was no question of apologising to anyone based on court observations.
