Nagpur: NCP City Urban Cell President Jwia Dhote and Secretary General of the State of the Party Abha Pande targets each other without chopping words about the issue of closing the Red-Light Ganga Jamuna last week.
However, NCP City President Duneshwar Pethe tried to explain the difference with a more politically true ‘reaction to the face-off.
Pethe also denied that there were cracks or disputes that increased in the City NCP as their mentor, the former minister and Katol Mla Anil Deshmukh did not act because of the Ed Probe.
Dhote is increasing the sound against the police action to close the red light area and declare the illegal brothel, which has endangered the livelihoods of sex workers.
Pande and his group exclaimed to end the prostitution and removal of their decline.
Pande also underlines the problem of rehabilitation.
Pete said Dhote and Pande might sound different in front of the media but their purpose is similar.
“One group (Dhote) protested the actions of police barricades and locked the place, which hampered livelihoods.
Other groups talked about rehabilitating prostitutes elsewhere, so their basic needs were met.
I did not find much difference in their views,” Pete said, It is also the only corporator from his party in the city.
In his party’s seat, PHE said the NCP supported the crackdown in underage children in prostitution, trade in women and girls, illegal activities and any anti-social elements in the red-light area.
At the same time, he said there must be a decent alternative to their livelihoods.
“We have decided to request a coordination meeting about Ganga Jamuna’s problems among leaders.
We will decide on the path of friendly action and also meet with senior police officers,” he said.
