Thorat raises concern over transfer of Elgar Parishad case to NIA

Aurangabad, Feb 18 (UNI) Maharashtra Revenue Minister and state Congress president Balasaheb Thorat on Tuesday expressed concern over the manner in which the BJP-led central government handed over the Elgar Parishad case to the National Investigation Agency (NIA) and stated that there was an ample scope for suspicion in entire episode.
In a press release issued by MPCC, Mr Thorat pointed that the Elgar Parishad is the platform for intellectuals, liberals and poets, and alleged that the manner in which the case was transferred to the NIA, clearly indicates that it is the attempt by the central government to label people associated with progressive, Dalit and pro-Ambedkar movements as Naxals.
“It is wrong to take action against them, only because they have spoken against the government. This is an attempt to the gag the progressive and pro-Ambedkar voices,” he alleged.
