Congress Boycotts Maharashtra Assembly Over Parbhani Violence and Sarpanch Murder

In a significant move, the Congress party boycotted the ongoing Maharashtra Assembly session on Monday, protesting against the recent violence in Parbhani district and the brutal murder of a local sarpanch. The party demanded immediate action from the state government to address the lawlessness and rising political violence in the region.

The boycott was announced after Congress leaders expressed concern over the alleged lack of security for elected representatives and the growing political tension in Parbhani. The sarpanch, identified as Shubham Sawant, was murdered in broad daylight, leading to widespread unrest in the area.

Congress leaders accused the Maharashtra government of failing to take sufficient action against the perpetrators of such crimes, citing the increasing frequency of political violence in the state. They further criticized the government inaction in maintaining peace and order, especially in politically sensitive regions like Parbhani.

The state government has assured that investigations into the sarpanch murder and the violence are underway, promising swift justice. However, the opposition remains unconvinced by the government assurances.

The boycott has led to disruptions in the Assembly proceedings, with Congress leaders demanding a special discussion on the Parbhani issue. The protests continue to highlight the growing discontent over law and order in Maharashtra.
