Pawar: Raj Thackeray’s comments “irresponsible”
Gargi Parsai
NEW DELHI: Even as Maharashtra Chief Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh said on Wednesday that he had sought the opinion of the State’s Advocate-General on the utterances of Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray about north Indians in Mumbai, Nationalist Congress Party president and Union Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar said Mr. Thackeray’s observations were “irresponsible” and did not deserve much importance
Mr. Pawar said even the statements by Samajwadi Party member Abu Azim were irresponsible. “Looks like both sides have some political agenda. They don’t have much support.”
He said:
“This is one country. All people have contributed to the economic development of Mumbai. It is a collective effort. The talent that comes to Mumbai contributes to the development of the city and the State.
“Mumbai is not an investment destination any more. It is more a service centre with entertainment, port and airport, among other things. Its total face is changing. This controversy is totally unnecessary. The media is also responsible for giving it undue publicity.”
