‘Action’ against encroachment Netaji was in

Actually, this incident happened when MLA Parag Shah was visiting busy areas like Vallabhbagh Lane and Khaugli of Ghatkopar. In these areas, shopkeepers and illegal vendors had encroached on the footpaths by installing chairs and benches, which was causing a lot of trouble to the pedestrians. The MLAs were protesting against these illegal vendors and those violating traffic rules. During this tour, when he saw a rickshaw puller coming in the wrong direction, the matter escalated into a fight.

The local citizens are deeply troubled by the increasing number of unauthorized hawkers in the Tilak Road area and the continuous construction of heavy traffic jams. Or only by repeatedly complaining about the problem to the Municipal Corporation and Police Administration from the citizens, any concrete and fruitful action can be taken… pic.twitter.com/9AL4uMeFuA

War on social media: Hero or villain?

This viral video has given rise to a new debate on the internet. On one hand, some local people are praising this quick action of the MLA and calling it ‘wrong side’. On the other hand, they are telling a way to teach a lesson to those driving, while on the other hand, serious questions are being raised on the conduct of the MLA.

Now people are asking whether a person holding a responsible position like an MLA has the right to take the law into his own hands? Even if the rickshaw puller violated the rules, is it appropriate for an MLA to beat him up and abuse him? At present this video has become a pain in the neck even for the administration.

This entire incident is like a football match where the referee (legislator) himself, seeing the player committing a foul, starts hitting him on the field instead of showing him a card; Whereas the law says that punishment should be done only as per the rule book.
