In the last few days, Raj Thackeray-led Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) and Congress' Sanjay Nirupam have been fighting over hawkers issue where the former attacked the hawkers while the latter asked hawkers to fight against MNS.
Now, eminent lawyer Kapil Sibbal is stepping in to fight for hawkers, confirmed Mumbai Congress president Sanjay Nirupam on Twitter.
On November 1, 2017, Bombay High Court issued an order stating that the hawkers cannot work within 100 meters of distance of school and college premises. Nirupam has decided to challenge this order where he roped in eminent lawyer Sibbal who will be fighting for hawkers.
