Mumbai: Senior NCP leader and former Union Minister Sharad Pawar on Wednesday issued an emotional appeal urging political parties not to politicise the tragic incident involving Maharashtra Deputy Chief
Minister Ajit Pawar's death, stating that the state has suffered a major shock and that the incident should be seen purely as an accident.
Video Message
In a video message released to the media, Sharad Pawar expressed deep anguish and said Maharashtra had suffered an irreparable loss due to the incident. Visibly emotional, he said he had not intended to address the media but felt compelled to respond after some political leaders demanded probes and raised suspicions surrounding the plane crash incident.
“There is no politics involved here. This is purely an accident,” Pawar said, adding that attempts to attach political motives to the tragedy were deeply hurtful. “The pain of this incident is being felt by Maharashtra and by all of us. I appeal to everyone not to politicise this tragedy,” he said.
Tribute to Ajit Pawar
