Mumbai: Condemning the attack on communist leader Govind Pansare, the Shiv Sena on Tuesday slammed the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led government in Maharashtra over the "deteriorating" law and order situation. "Pansare was shot when Sun's rays were illuminating Kolhapur. All this is happening in our own Maharashtra, despite change in government," an editorial in Sena mouthpiece Saamana said.
"When (anti-superstition crusader) Narendra Dabholkar was killed, there was Congress government in the state. It was put in the convict's box over the murder. Now who will take responsibility for this daylight attack," Sena asked.
"The government is ours so we cannot even say that the law and order situation is in tatters and convicts are roaming scott free," it said. "Had it been some other government, one could have battered it with these very words. Pansare is against Hindutva. His booklet about Shivaji Maharaj was controversial. Many people didn't like his speeches about Nathuram Godse in Kolhapur. However, his contribution in social work is immense," Sena said.

Meanwhile, five people have been detained by the Maharashtra police for investigation into the attack on rationalist and the veteran Communist party leader. Twenty teams along with a forensic team have been deployed to probe the case headed by an additional superintendent of police.
The probe teams have been sent to Satara, Sangli and other nearby areas. History sheeters are also being questioned to assess any possible links to the attack. According to police sources, the assailants used a country-made pistol for the attack.
