Porsche Crash: Sharad Pawar Slams NCP MLA Sunil Tingre For Visiting Police Station To Help Accused
Sharad Pawar criticised Ajit Pawar-led NCP MLA Sunil Tingre for allegedly visiting the police station to help the accused in the Pune Porsche Case
Pune: NCP (SP) supremo Sharad Pawar on Friday criticised Ajit Pawar -led NCP MLA Sunil Tingre for allegedly visiting the police station to help the accused in the Pune Porsche Case in May this year.
Pawar also said Tingre should have instead shown sympathy for the two victims who lost their lives in the crash.
Two IT professionals were killed when a Porsche car, allegedly driven by a drunk 17-year-old boy, rammed into their motorcycle in the Kalyani Nagar area in the early hours of May 19.
NCP MLA Sunil Tingre is accused of going to the police station to help the accused, allegations he has denied in the past.
Addressing a rally organised by former MLA Bapu Pathare in Kharadi in Wadgaon Sheri, the NCP (SP) chief said, "In that ill-fated incident, two young individuals died but instead of going there to find out about them, he (Tingre) ran to the police station to help the accused." Pawar also slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi for statements attacking Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi, all former prime ministers, and Rahul Gandhi .
"We would have been happy if he talked about inflation, unemployment, law and order but he made such remarks about three generations of the Gandhi family. While Jawaharlal Nehru was in jail for 14 years during the freedom struggle, Indira Gandhi taught a befitting lesson to Pakistan with the creation of Bangladesh . Rajiv Gandhi brought in modern policies," Pawar said.
Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi sacrificed their lives for the nation but PM Modi criticises them, Pawar claimed.
Pawar also opposed the Centre's 'One Nation, One Poll' initiative. (with PTI inputs)
