Nagpur: The Bharatiya JanataYuva Morcha (BJYM) activists staged demonstrations against State Government over the attack on freedom of expression. Shivani Dani Wakhare, State General Secretary of BJYM; and Parendra Patle, City President, led the demonstrations at Akashwani Square. They raised slogans against the Government.
The BJYM leaders said that they did not support Samit Thakkar, who made objectionable comments against Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray and others. Courts will decide whether he is guilty or not. But the State Government is treating him like a terrorist and it was wrong.
