  • ‘Murder Of Democracy’: Uddhav Thackeray After Maharashtra Speaker’s Verdict |

    MUMBAI: Maharashtra Assembly Speaker Rahul Narwekar’s verdict on the dispute within the Shiv Sena factions, has ignited a political firestorm, with Uddhav Thackeray labelling it as a “murder of democracy” and a premeditated “match-fixing” on Wednesday.”

    Shiv Sena UBT Leaders Slam Speaker’s Verdict

    Uddhav Thackeray, head of the Shiv Sena UBT faction, expressed strong disapproval, deeming the decision a direct insult to the Supreme Court’s previous ruling in favour of Sunil Prabhu’s appointment as chief whip. ”It was a match-fixing. The verdict is also an insult to the Supreme Court which had ruled that Sunil Prabhu’s appointment as chief whip was valid. We don’t accept this verdict, we are challenging it in the apex court,” Uddhav Thackeray said.

    Sanjay Raut, another prominent figure in the UBT faction, went a step further, denouncing the decision as part of a larger “BJP conspiracy” to dismantle the party founded by the late Balasaheb Thackeray. Raut warned that the Shiv Sena would not succumb to this setback, vowing to take the matter to the Supreme Court.

    Speaker Deliver’s Crucial Verdict 

    Speaker Narwekar, in delivering his crucial verdict, delved into the intricacies of the Shiv Sena constitution. He emphasized that the 2018 leadership structure, submitted to the Election Commission of India (ECI), did not align with the party’s constitution, leading to the dismissal of Uddhav Thackeray’s removal of Eknath Shinde as ”unconstitutional.”

    Narwekar clarified that, based on the evidence and records available, no elections were held in 2013 and 2018. Despite acknowledging limited jurisdiction, he declared the 2018 constitution submitted to the ECI as the relevant one, highlighting that the party failed to submit any constitution to the Speaker’s office as per legislative rules.

    Constitutional Conundrum: Shiv Sena’s Divergent Claims

    The Speaker pointed out the conflicting versions of the constitution submitted by the rival factions, stressing the importance of relying on the constitution presented to the ECI before the emergence of factional disputes. He emphasized that the 1999 constitution of Shiv Sena, recognized by the ECI, serves as the valid constitution for determining the real political party.

    In a significant revelation, Narwekar highlighted that the 2018 amended constitution lacked validity as it was not in the records of the ECI, adhering to Supreme Court orders. This revelation challenges the legitimacy of the leadership structure based on the 2018 constitution, further complicating the ongoing political turmoil.

    Supreme Court’s Deadline For Speaker’s Judgement 

    The Supreme Court’s directive to Speaker Narwekar to deliver his judgment on disqualification petitions by January 10 has intensified the political drama in Maharashtra. As the factions gear up for a legal battle in the apex court, the repercussions of this decision are poised to reshape the state’s political landscape. The struggle for control within Shiv Sena continues, leaving democracy hanging in the balance.

  • WATCH: Armed Men Storm Ecuador TV Studio During Live Broadcast As Attacks Escalate | world news

    GUAYAQUIL: Masked men broke onto the set of a public television channel in Ecuador waving guns and explosives during a live broadcast Tuesday, and the president issued a decree declaring that the violence-plagued country had entered an “internal armed conflict.” The men armed with pistols and what looked like sticks of dynamite entered the set of the TC Television network in the port city of Guayaquil during a news program that was airing live in thousands of homes across the nation and shouted that they had bombs. Noises similar to gunshots could be heard in the background. No one was killed in the attack.

    Authorities have not said who was behind the television station occupation, or a series of other attacks that have shaken the South American country recently, but they follow the apparent escapes from prison of two of Ecuador’s most powerful drug gang leaders.

    JUST IN: The 13 thugs who took hostages on a live television broadcast in Ecuador have been arrested and will reportedly be charged with terrorism.

    Here are the 13 clowns celebrating and flashing their gang signs for the cameras just moments before being arrested.

    Life comes… pic.twitter.com/PR9GChrfTe — Collin Rugg (@CollinRugg) January 10, 2024

    Alina Manrique, the head of news for TC Television, said she was in the control room, across from the studio, when the masked men burst into the building. One of them pointed a gun at her head and told her to get on the floor, Manrique said.

    The incident was aired live, although the station’s signal was cut off after about 15 minutes. Manrique said some of the assailants ran from the studio and tried to hide when they realized they were surrounded by police.

    “I am still in shock,” Manrique told The Associated Press in a phone interview. “Everything has collapsed …. All I know is that its time to leave this country and go very far away.”

    Ecuador has been rocked by a series of attacks, including the abductions of several police officers, in the wake of a notorious gang leader’s apparent weekend escape from prison. President Daniel Noboa on Monday declared a national state of emergency, a measure that lets authorities suspend people’s rights and mobilize the military in places like prisons.

    Shortly after the gunmen stormed the TV station, Noboa issued another decree designating 20 drug trafficking gangs operating in the country as terrorist groups and authorizing Ecuador’s military to “neutralize” them within the bounds of international humanitarian law. It also said the country had entered an internal armed conflict.

    The chaos in Ecuador continues. Shootings and murders everywhere in the cities.https://t.co/BDF18qvsMS pic.twitter.com/VGusHZOVwB — Megatron (@Megatron_ron) January 10, 2024

    Ecuador’s national police chief announced that authorities had arrested all the masked intruders. Police commander César Zapata told the TV channel Teleamazonas that 13 people were detained.

    Ecuador’s attorney general’s office later said the 13 will be charged with terrorism. It tweeted that it will present the charges in coming hours, and that prosecutors are working at the TC Television network studio to get more evidence.

    Ecuadorian law establishes a penalty of up to 13 years in prison for anyone convicted of terrorism.

    The government has not said how many attacks have taken place since authorities announced that Los Choneros gang leader Adolfo Macías, alias “Fito,” was discovered missing from his cell in a low security prison Sunday. He was scheduled to be transferred to a maximum security facility that day.

    On Tuesday, Ecuadorean officials announced that another gang leader, Fabricio Colón Pico of the Los Lobos group, had escaped from a prison in the town of Riobamba. Colón Pico was captured on Friday as part of a kidnapping investigation and has also been accused of trying to murder one of the nation’s lead prosecutors.

    Other attacks have included an explosion near the house of the president of the National Justice Court and the Monday night kidnappings of four police officers, or whether they think the actions were coordinated.

    Police said one officer was abducted in the capital, Quito, and three in Quevedo city.

    Los Choneros is one of the Ecuadorian gangs that authorities consider responsible for a spike in violence, much of tied to drug trafficking, that reached a new level last year with the assassination of presidential candidate Fernando Villavicencio. The gang has links with Mexico’s Sinaloa cartel, according to authorities.

    The whereabouts of Macías are unknown. Prosecutors opened an investigation and charged two guards in connection with his alleged escape, but neither the police, the corrections system, nor the federal government confirmed whether the prisoner fled the facility or might be hiding in it.

    In February 2013, he escaped from a maximum security facility but was recaptured weeks later.

    Noboa said in a message on Instagram that he wouldn’t stop until he “brings back peace to all Ecuadorians,” and that his government had decided to confront crime. The wave of attacks began a few hours after Noboa’s announcement.

    States of emergency were widely used by Noboa’s predecessor, Guillermo Lasso, as a way to confront the wave of violence that has affected the country.

    Macías, who was convicted of drug trafficking, murder and organized crime, was serving a 34-year sentence in La Regional prison in the port of Guayaquil.

    Los Choneros and other similar groups linked to Mexican and Colombian cartels are fighting over drug trafficking routes and control of territory, including from within detention facilities, where at least 400 inmates have died since 2021, according to authorities.

    Experts and authorities have acknowledged that gang members practically rule from inside the prisons, and Macías is believed to have kept controlling his group from within the detention facility.
