Patnaik is under fire for mishandling the August 11 violence at Azad Maidan in Mumbai during a rally organised by city-based Raza Academy and other outfits to protest incidents in Assam and Myanmar. Several policemen were injured in the melee. The home department, headed by Nationalist Congress Party's R R Patil, submitted the proposal to shunt out Patnaik four days ago, according to sources. Opposition Shiv Sena and Maharashtra Navnirman Sena have demanded Patnaik's resignation.
