Maharashtra government firm on dance bar ban despite SC order

Thane | Saturday | 19th January, 2019

Summary:

MUMBAI: Unfazed by the Supreme Court rap, the BJP-led state government is firm it won't allow dance bars to operate in the state. Hence, the government won't allow dance bars to revive. "Even if a single dance bar reopens, it will prove to be a failure of the BJP-led government and could be a threat for the elections. It may file a review petition in the SC, but is more likely to move a new bill to thwart dance bars in the budget session in July. If need be, we will bring an ordinance and ensure that dance bars do not open again," finance minister Sudhir Mungantiwar told TOI ..
