Six organisations operating within Maharashtra have already been prohibited in other states, according to Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Friday. He referenced the 'Maharashtra Special Public Security Bill'.
The bill, designed to prevent unlawful activities by Left Wing Extremist groups- focusing on urban Naxalism and "passive militancy"- has been approved by the assembly and is scheduled for presentation in the legislative council shortly, according to news agency PTI.
"I am pleased that the Maharashtra Special Public Security Bill, 2024, which was introduced during the Winter Session in December of the previous year, received approval from the assembly on Thursday," Fadnavis stated to reporters at Vidhan Bhavan, reported news agency PTI.
