NEW DELHI: Nationalist Congress Party (Sharad Pawar) MLA Rohit Pawar on Saturday met former Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal at his residence, requesting support on the criminal investigation into the death of former Maharashtra deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar.
He said that Kejriwal assured him of assistance in raising this issue in Parliament.
“We aim to ensure that Ajit Dada receives justice, whether his death was an accident or a political conspiracy. A thorough criminal investigation is crucial for that. In Maharashtra, we are not receiving justice. The Maharashtra Police have not registered our FIR, and the CID investigation is progressing very slowly,” Pawar told reporters after meeting Kejriwal.
He emphasised that if such a prominent leader cannot get justice in Maharashtra, it is essential for the MPs and the opposition to raise this matter in the Parliament. “Kejriwal is a leader who understands issues in detail. He also said that this issue should not be overlooked. We are trying to secure justice for Ajit Dada, and he assured us that we will have his support in our efforts,” Pawar said.
Additionally, he highlighted the need for reforms within the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA). Alleging that the current functioning of the DGCA is corrupt and problematic, Pawar asserted that necessary reforms would greatly benefit the public.
Taking to social media platform X, Pawar wrote in Marathi, “Met the state’s valiant leader and former Chief Minister of Delhi, Arvind Kejriwal, in Delhi; discussed the matter of Ajitdada’s plane crash with him; and presented the complete information gathered over the past few days regarding this.”
Pawar said, “For Ajitdada to get justice and to ensure that such an incident never happens again in the country and no one else becomes a victim, this matter must undergo an impartial investigation. I requested the MPs of the AAP raise their voice on the issue in Parliament. He responded positively and assured us that he stands with us in this fight.”
