Mumbai, Jul 19: A day after BMC served notice to Lilly Mendosa, who is the mother of RJ Malishka, after breeding spots for mosquitoes were found at her Bandra Pali Hill road house, questions have been raised over timing of the notice.

The BMC clarified that it was a routine check which they conduct throughout Mumbai, and the official who served notice to Lilly Mendosa was not even aware who was staying there.

"Linkage of this notice to political issue is not good. Our local officials were conducting routine check of societies. We have served notice to some Agwal on first floor of same building where Lilly Mendosa stays. So we have not sent notice only to Ms Mendosa alone," said Rajan Narignekar, head of pesticides department.

BMC has started taking serious preventive measures against Dengue, malaria and other diseases caused by mosquitoes. So far BMC has sent notices to 8,744 people in which 432 people have appeared in front of metropolitan magistrate. So far BMC has recovered fine of Rs 20,04,600.

"Notice to Lilly Mendosa was served under 381B. Now metropolitan magistrate will send summons to her for hearing and there metropolitan magistrate will decide the amount of fine. It's upto her to accept her offense in front of metropolitan magistrate or not. In such offense fine range is from Rs 2000 to Rs 10,000 but that magistrate will decide," said Rajan Narignekar.

RJ Malishka had come up with a video which talked about Mumbai rains and BMC, but the video did not go down well with Shiv Sena, who has been ruling BMC since last 25 years, and which has asked the BMC Commissioner to file a Rs 500 crore defamation suit against Pvt FM channel which created this video.

"Our corporators have asked BMC to take legal action against Radio Channel. That video is an insult to BMC and its workers who work day and night to keep Mumbai on track. Shiv Sena or BMC is not at all targeting Malishka and notice sent to her about dengue mosquitoes was part of routine check. Why can't you people appreciate the work of BMC," said Kishori Pendenakar, Shiv Sena corporator.

While Shiv Sena is criticising Malishka for her video on BMC, its alliance partner, BJP, on the other hand came to her rescue.

BJP Mumbai chief Ashish Shelar tweeted and appreciated Malishka's efforts to express Mumbai's problem. In a tweet Shelar wrote, "It is Brave of Malishka to come out of comfort zone and apply her creativity to express Mumbai's problem."

Neither RJ Malishka or her mother Lilly Mendosa were available to comments.

It has been seen in recent past that those who raised their voice against BMC would always face some action. First it was comedian actor Kapil Sharma and now RJ Malishka.

BMC might say that it is not targeting anyone, but their actions speak something else.

Mumbai, Jan 13: On the ongoing protests against new Citizenship Law, Bollywood actor Zeeshan Ayub said that everyone has been exposed and the common man has understood everything and the right-wing people cannot make a fool out of them by giving vague statements.

Talking to ANI, Zeeshan said, "Law is supposed to give the citizenship but the way in which the criteria have been changed is the trouble here."

Disagreeing to the continuous statements put forward by the BJP government that CAA is not a hindrance to the citizenship, the actor further said, Things are clear now, people have now understood the facts, the people and the intention behind are now exposed,.. they can't make a fool out of common people any more."

Zeeshan said it actually the other way round, those people are the ones who are misleading the general public by fluctuating their own statements. "Home minister said something, the next day something else is being said in the Ram leela..people are getting confused., the 'Ranjahanna' actor added.

He further said, "Earlier it was Hindu-Muslim propaganda, but that didn't work, so now you are making it a case between two political parties.. basically you are changing your own statements." When asked about his take on the ongoing JNU Violence, the actor said the members of the alleged political party itself have come out and explained their part in the case and yet no action has been taken.

The actor finally said that people should develop a sense of humanity.

Over here on E Street, we are crushed by the loss of John Prine. John and I were "New Dylans" together in the early 70s and he was never anything but the lovliest guy in the world. A true national treasure and a songwriter for the ages. We send our love and prayers to his family, Springsteen wrote in a post on Twitter.
