Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut attacked the BJP-led Maharashtra government over the incident and asked when artists like Saif Ali Khan are attacked, then to what extent the common public is safe?

The UBT MP questioned Maharashtra's Home Minister on the prevailing law and order situation in the state. Raut claimed that such incidents are happening on a“daily basis” in slum areas, but this incident came to light because a celebrity was attacked.

During a press conference, Raut said,“Saif Ali Khan is an artist; he has also been awarded Padma Shri. Saif Ali Khan and his family met him at the Prime Minister's residence a few days ago. The Prime Minister had invited him. Everyone sat with him for an hour and discussed. Saif Ali Khan was also very happy after meeting the Prime Minister.”

“But yesterday, the Prime Minister was in Mumbai, and at this time, Saif Ali Khan was attacked with a knife. Some people say the attacker was a thief, some say something else, but what is the law and order situation in this state? ... Where is our Home Minister?” Raut asked.
