Mayor demands removal of corporator Anwar Qadri
Indore: Indore mayor Pushyamitra Bhargav on Friday wrote to the divisional commissioner to remove corporator Anwar Qadri from his post, citing serious allegations including sedition, a history of criminal activity, and recent involvement in communal sloganeering. "The demand for Qadri's dismissal comes in the wake of escalating tensions and protests within the city," Bhargav said. He added that his letter to Indore divisional commissioner explicitly references an FIR registered against Qadri, his alleged old criminal record, and accusations of promoting and funding 'love jihad'. The complaint against Qadri was reportedly initiated by BJP corporators, including Bharat Singh Raghuvanshi, who submitted their grievances through the appeal committee. Mayor Bhargav's recommendation calls for Qadri's immediate dismissal, specifically invoking the provisions of the Madhya Pradesh Municipalities Act, 1956, which allows for the removal of a corporator under certain circumstances. Banganga police registered a case against Qadri for allegedly 'funding' two persons for 'Love Jihad'. TNN
