The issue of embellishing the tomb of the 1993 Mumbai bombing of accused terrorist Yakub Memon is gaining momentum among Maharashtra’s political parties. The BJP constantly besieges Shiv Sena and also claims that the Uddhav government has given permission to decorate the tomb of Yakub Memon, an aide to Dawood Ibrahim who was sentenced in the Mumbai bombings, as a tomb.

Shiv Sena became the guardian army of the terrorist’s grave

Meanwhile, Mumbai Mayor Kishori Pednekar is also the subject of much discussion right now. In fact, old photos of him in which he is with Rauf Memon, a relative of Yakub Memon, are going viral on social networks. After that, the BJP and other Congress-Shiv Sena are attackers. Mumbai BJP President Ashish Shelar told a press conference whether the “Penguin” army had become the guardian army of the terrorist’s grave.

Kishori Pednekar presented a clarification

Seeing his name associated with Yakub Memon, Mumbai Mayor Kishori Pednekar made it clear. He said neither the BMC nor the state government gave permission to decorate the tomb. Targeting the BJP more, Pednekar said that with the upcoming Mumbai Municipal Corporation elections, Shelar and BJP state president Chandrashekhar Bawankule are causing confusion among the city’s residents. He said that the Hindus of Mumbai supported Uddhav Thackeray and will continue to support him.

Pednekar denies the charges against him

Speaking about the viral photo, Kishori Pednekar said I don’t know Yakub Memon’s relatives. I was mayor at that time and I went there at the request of the people. Mumbai Mayor Kishori Pednekar said, “I didn’t know a relative of Memon was present. Pednekar dismissed the charges against him and said that when people invited him as mayor he had to leave.
