NCP MLC Protests After PA Denied Entry to Vidhan Bhavan
An NCP MLC, Amol Mitkari, protested at the Maharashtra Vidhan Bhavan because his assistant wasn't allowed inside.
This happened on the last day of a session.
Mitkari said his assistant's pass was suddenly invalid.
He believes this is unfair, as others have been allowed in with ease.
He felt it was discrimination because his assistant, who helps with official documents, was blocked while others with 'criminal records' had no issues entering.
The protest was triggered by tightened security following a prior altercation.
