Dictatorship in Maharashtra: Freedom of Expression and Free Speech in Danger

Under the incompetent leadership of Uddhav Thakre, it seems that there is utter misrule in Maharashtra. At a time when the state government must focus its attention to fight the rapidly increasing coronavirus epidemic and other problems, the entire government machinery is working extra hours to punish all those people who criticize its misrule and incompetence. If you live in Maharashtra, be careful about your well-being as the state government can punish you if you are critical of its dictatorship, false propaganda, and hooliganism. 

Right from its birth, Shivsena is notorious for its negative image. It’s brainless volunteers take the law into their hands without having any fear in mind and thrash anyone who doesn’t agree with their ideologies. In the past, they thrashed Bihari and UP migrants living in Maharastra in the name of statehood, damaged their properties, and surprisingly remained unpunished because of mute support from the political establishment of Maharashtra. 

Previously, they had an alliance with BJP. This time, they divorced their long-standing relationship just for the post of Maharashtra Chief minister.  Shivsena formed a new alliance with Congress and NCP. Its head became Maharashtra CM. 

Currently, Maharashtra is ruled by a Gunda and dictator CM Uddhav Thackeray. He dislikes critical thinking, free speech, and freedom of Expression. Hindi film actress, producer, and director Kangna Ranaut was abused, threatened, and intimidated by Shivsena hooligans. Her office was illegally demolished by BMC ruffians in a great hurry accusing it of illegal construction at the instructions of the Maharashtra government. 

Moreover, the arrogant Shivsena leader called Kangna haramakhor, dishonest, and naughty. He did offer any apology for using foul language for a lady. Moreover, he printed "Ukhad Liya" in Saamna magazine. I don't have suitable words to explain the idiotic character of Sanjay Raut. 

A few days ago, a retired navy forwarded a cartoon on WhatsApp related to the CM Uddhav Thackeray. The next day, Shivsena goons attacked that 65 years old person and thrashed him so badly that he was hospitalized for medical treatment. After a lot of criticism, Mumbai police arrested 6 goons and released all of them on bail the next day. This is a fine example of anarchy, misrule, and dictatorship. 

Maharashtra is rapidly heading towards being a lawless state under this government. If you live in this state, be careful about what you speak and what you express on social media platforms. You may face troubles for being critical of the state government. I am surprised that there is no media grilling of the Maharashtra government despite its wrongdoing. The same Indian media is extremely critical of rightwing forces in the country. That is why mainstream media has lost its credibility among the common public. It's the right time when all democratic forces must unite against all forms of injustice currently happening in Maharashtra.
