Mumbai: Nationalist Congress Party–Sharad Pawar (NCP-SP) MLA Rohit Pawar criticised the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for putting up banners across Mumbai that referred to Union Home Minister Amit Shah
as “India’s Iron Man.” Pawar said the title rightfully belongs to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel for his invaluable role in India’s freedom struggle and nation-building.
Calling out the BJP, he added that the party should avoid disrespecting great leaders in this manner. The banners stated, "A warm welcome to the Iron Man of India, the country's strong Home Minister Hon'ble Shri Amitbhai Shah in Mumbai."
Taking to his official handle on X, the NCP leader wrote, "Due to his invaluable contribution to the freedom struggle and the nation’s formation, the people respectfully bestowed upon Sardar Patel the title of #IronMan. Just as the title #FatherOfTheNation suits no one but Mahatma Gandhi, the same applies to the title of Iron Man. I can understand the sentiments of the workers, but the BJP should avoid disrespecting great leaders in this manner. Perhaps even Home Minister Hon. Amit Shah would not appreciate seeing this flex."
