PNC chief Sharad Pawar warned opponents on Tuesday that the Palghar incident should not be used to settle old political accounts. He said it shouldn’t have happened and called it an isolated incident. The responsibility to remain united in times of crisis rests with each and every one of us, he added.
Pawar was referring to the incident on April 16 at night when three Kandivali men in neighboring Bombay were traveling to Surat in a car. The vehicle was stopped and the trio were beaten to death with sticks by a mafia on suspicion that they were thieves.
The sadhus, 70-year-old Swami Kalpvriksha Giri and 35-year-old Sushil Giri, were later revealed to belong to Varanasi-based Juna Akhara and were on their way to Gujarat to attend the last rites of their guru Mahant Shri Ram Giri. . Prime Minister Uddhav Thackeray has announced a high-level investigation by the Criminal Investigation Department.
“The incident has nothing to do with the new coronavirus. What happened was unfortunate and should not have happened. It is condemnable. It happened due to misunderstandings. The state government and the police acted quickly. More than 100 people found involved in the primary investigation were arrested and put behind bars the next day, “the NCP chief said in a video interaction with people.
“But an image is being created that Maharashtra’s law and order are in a bad state and resignations are demanded for an isolated incident. Personally, I feel a political struggle and any game that needs to be resolved can be done at the right time, but this is not the right time for all of this, ”said the veteran leader without naming anyone.
He said that everyone must be united in the fight against this pandemic.
