Maharashtra Congress leader Harshwardhan Sapkal condemned Shiv Sena MLA Sanjay Gaikwad's remarks against a publisher concerning a book on Shivaji Maharaj, labeling Gaikwad's behavior as indicative of a 'criminal mindset.'
The controversy ignited after a viral audio clip revealed Gaikwad's offensive language towards Kolhapur-based publisher Prashant Ambi, in relation to the book 'Shivaji Kon Hota,' originally penned by CPI leader Govind Pansare in 1988.
Sapkal criticized the government's inaction on Gaikwad's past alleged misconduct, urging decisive steps, particularly in light of mandatory Marathi for auto drivers, to uphold respect for linguistic and historical figures.
