Thackeray Says Koregaon Bhima Letter Should Be in CMO
Uddhav Thackeray, the former Chief Minister of Maharashtra, submitted a document to a commission investigating the Koregaon Bhima violence.
He said that if Sharad Pawar, another political leader, gave him a letter about the violence, it should be in the office of the current Chief Minister, Devendra Fadnavis.
Prakash Ambedkar, a Dalit leader, had asked for this letter to be produced.
The violence happened in 2018 in Pune, and a commission is looking into it.
Thackeray also mentioned that during his time as CM, all official documents were kept properly.
Meanwhile, there was a discussion about a book that talks about the history of a king, Sambhaji Maharaj, and a dispute over where his last rites were performed.
Uddhav Thackeray submitted an affidavit stating that a letter from Sharad Pawar about Koregaon Bhima violence should be in the CMO.
Prakash Ambedkar had filed an application seeking the letter, alleging it accused the Fadnavis government of conspiring in the violence.
Thackeray mentioned that during his tenure, all official documents were maintained in the CMO.
The Koregaon Bhima Commission of Inquiry is probing the violence that occurred on January 1, 2018.
There is an ongoing dispute over the historical facts mentioned in a novel about Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj.
