NDTV
Maharashtra Governor BS Koshyari had recently written to Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray asking him to convene a special session of the state legislature.
Days after Maharashtra Governor BS Koshyari's letter calling for a special session of the state assembly following the rape and murder of a woman in Mumbai's Sakinaka, Chief Minster Uddhav Thackeray has hit back saying Mr Koshyari should request the centre to call a session of parliament to discuss issues concerning the safety of women and growing attacks on them.
In his letter to the governor written on Monday, Mr Thackeray listed crimes against women in BJP-ruled states including Uttarakhand, the home state of Mr Koshyari, and said he had "genes of a political worker".
He stated that such "instructions" by the governor could stoke a new controversy and are damaging to the democratic parliamentary procedures.
