Public Security Bill: Uddhav Thackeray calls bill ‘BJP Suraksha Act’

Uddhav Thackeray criticized the Maharashtra Special Public Security Bill, 2024, calling it the ‘BJP Suraksha Act’. He warned it may be misused to suppress dissent and target opposition. The bill imposes strict penalties for “illegal activities” linked to extremist groups but, Thackeray claims, lacks clarity and may threaten democratic rights.

Just a day after CM Devendra Fadnavis tabled the Public Security Bill at the ongoing Maharashtra Monsoon Assembly, Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray on Friday described it as the ‘BJP Suraksha Act’. He further said that the ruling party thinks whoever speaks against it is anti-national.

As reported by PTI, Uddhav Thackeray alleged that the bill has been brought with political intentions and expressed fear that it will be misused against the opposition as well as common citizens.

While addressing the media at Vidhan Bhavan, Uddhav Thackeray said, “The government got the bill passed with a brute majority.”
