Maharashtra Congress President Harshwardhan Sapkal on Friday criticised the state government over the law and order situation in the wake of tensions in Pune's Yavat village following an alleged objectionable social media post, reported news agency ANI.

Sapkal alleged that the police are failing to maintain law and order and are instead engaged in other activities, leading to repeated incidents of unrest in the state.

"The law and order in Maharashtra is in a really bad condition. There is no Police here. Police are busy running unscrupulous jobs. Law and order are not being upheld, and the Police are not working. So, such incidents are happening every other day," Sapkal told reporters.
