Tawde demanded that the commission intervene to know why women constables were posted at Azad Maidan while only men were supposed to attend the Raza Academy rally.

"Similarly, why did police officials remain mere eyewitnesses to the molestation instead of taking action? Why is Police Commissioner Arup Patnaik silent on the issue," he asked.

Replying to questions, Tawde rejected speculation about senior BJP leader Gopinath Munde getting close to the Congress, since the Congress wanted a mass leader from Marathwada to fill the vacuum created by Vilasrao Deshmukh's death.

"Why would Munde join the Congress? He is a senior leader who has the capacity to bring Sena, BJP and MNS together as well as be a claim the chief minister's post in 2014," he said.
