Speaking to Pune Pulse, Mulik said, “NCP leaders had planned to disrupt the event of the Union Minister Smriti Irani. So, they reached Senapati Bapat road and forcefully tried to enter the J W Marriott hotel, protested and tried to block the minister’s car. The security guard’s car was attacked. NCP workers had brought eggs and ink bottles to Balgandharv Rangmandir. However, no serious offenses have been registered against them in this regard.”

Mulik said, “Serious offences like molestation have been filed against the BJP workers. We demand immediate withdrawal of these charges. Stern action must be taken against the NCP workers for misuse of law and fabricating stories. NCP workers must come out clean.”

Mulik also added that NCP workers were attacking BJP office bearers and citizens are being bullied. “Serious cases are being registered against the NCP workers with the help of police as they are collecting money. Even if a hundred cases are filed against us, we won’t get scared. Our fight against bullying will continue. We respect the law and believe in judiciary.”
