The Congress MLAs on Wednesday demanded action against radical Hindutva leader Sambhaji Bhide for his alleged controversial remarks against Mahatma Gandhi.
During the Maharashtra Assembly proceedings, which resumed after a four-day break, the legislators criticised the ruling dispensation for ‘supporting’ Mr. Bhide and not arresting him.
Mr. Bhide, who heads the fringe Sangli-based outfit ‘Shiv Pratisthan’, was linked to the 2018 Bhima-Koregaon clashes, and recently made remarks about Mahatma Gandhi’s lineage during his speech in Amravati.
