  • ‘Regrettable’: Opposition Leaders Condemn Maharashtra Govt Following Killing Of Baba Siddique |

    After the shooting death of NCP leader Baba Siddique in Mumbai on Saturday night, Opposition leaders called for justice and criticised the Eknath Shinde government for its failure to maintain law and order in Maharashtra. 

    All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) president Asaduddin Owaisi shared a post on X and said, “Baba Siddique’s murder is highly condemnable. It reflects the deteriorating state of law & order in Maharashtra. May Allah grant him maghfirah. My condolences to his family, friends & colleagues. Prof. Saibaba’s death is also deeply concerning. His death was also partly a result of the UAPA that allows cops to keep you in prison for lengthy periods without any evidence.”

    Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar described the killing of former Maharashtra Minister and NCP leader Baba Siddique in Mumbai as “regrettable.”

    “The state’s collapsed law and order situation is a cause for concern. The shooting of former state minister Baba Siddique in Mumbai, the financial capital of the country, is regrettable. If the Home Minister and the rulers are going to push the cart of the state so mildly, it can be an alarm bell for the common people,” Sharad Pawar said in a post on X.
