Sharad Pawar withdraws his resignation as NCP chief: ‘Will work for uniting opposition’

Published

on

NCP chief Sharad Pawar on Friday, while addressing reporters, announced his decision to take back his resignation of party chief post. Pawar said he has taken back his resignation since party workers were not happy with his decision.

“Because of my decision, there was an intense reaction among NCP workers. There was a great deal of uneasiness among partymen with my party workers and well-wishers urging me to reconsider. I cannot disrespect your feelings. The affection and faith shown in me has overwhelmed me. Respecting the committee’s decision, I take back my resignation,” the veteran politician said.

“After reconsideration of everything, I announce that I will continue as the president of the party. I take back my previous decision,” Pawar told reporters.

This comes shortly after Nationalist Congress Party’s key committee on Friday unanimously rejected Sharad Pawar’s resignation. The key panel held a meeting at their party office in Ballard Pier in Mumbai.

Though I am continuing, there has to be succession plan: Sharad Pawar

The veteran politician’s absolute control over the party was reinforced by a three-day spectacle, marked by a dramatic resignation and an equally dramatic reversal. The event was further fueled by rumors of Ajit Pawar’s involvement with the ruling BJP, while his absence during Mr. Pawar’s announcement about “organizational changes” was noteworthy.

The sudden resignation had sparked intense speculation about the succession of his position, with many speculating that his daughter Supriya Sule would take over, leaving the question of Ajit Pawar’s role unanswered.

“Even though I am continuing in the post of president, I am of the clear opinion that there has to be a succession plan for any post or responsibility in the organisation. In future, I will focus on making organizational changes in the party, assigning new responsibilities, creating new leadership. I will also work vigorously for the growth of organisation and take our ideology and goals of the party to the people,” Pawar said.

Rahul Gandhi, Sitaram Yechury asked me to continue: Pawar

He expressed his readiness to resume his role in uniting the opposition, which has been divided in various directions against the BJP, for the 2024 elections.

“It is very important to unite all the political parties. From Rahul Gandhi to CPIM’s Sitaram Yechury, everyone called and asked me to continue,” he said.

NCP workers celebrate after Pawar withdraws resignation

At the launch of his memoir in Mumbai, Mr. Pawar’s surprise announcement led many to speculate that he was trying to preempt Ajit Pawar’s reported attempts to create a rift within the party and lure members to the BJP.

Following Tuesday’s events, during which NCP workers had made dramatic pleas for Mr. Pawar to rescind his resignation, there were displays of fireworks and celebrations among party members.

Why is there a ceasefire at the behest of the US? asks SP leader and MLA Abu Asim Azmi

Published

Mumbai: Maharashtra Samajwadi Party leader and MLA Abu Asim Azmi said that America’s arrogance is unbearable. A ceasefire at the behest of America and a war at its behest are not right. He said that Pakistan had carried out terrorist and destructive acts in the country before, why did the Modi government not respond to it at that time? He said that after the Pahalgam terrorist attack, the country stood with the government like a lead wall, but a ceasefire was declared at the behest of America. He said that our country will decide whether to have relations with Pakistan or not. Who gave America the authority to do so? He said that they were brought to their knees at the behest of America.

Abu Asim Azmi said that when there were terrorist attacks earlier, where was America? Why didn’t it mediate? Once, it happened that Narendra Modi suddenly went on a visit to Pakistan for no reason. There is anger against Pakistan in the country and the people are adamant about continuing the war until the end of Pakistan. Narendra Modi says that negotiations and terrorism cannot go together, blood and water will not flow together, so why has no concrete step been taken against terrorism so far? Relations with Pakistan have been maintained repeatedly, now why was a ceasefire declared at the behest of America and the US President is also announcing it? Azmi said that if a war is fought across the border, then why was the war left incomplete?

Modi’s statement that blood and terrorism and water and blood will not flow together is just a dialogue. If there was to be a ceasefire, then there should have been mediation and intervention in this matter already. Why was it done now? He said that terrorism has not ended even after the abrogation of Article 370 and demonetization. Modi ji had said that if terrorism is not ended in 50 days, then the punishment given to me will be acceptable. Abu Asim Azmi said that India is the biggest power but America will teach us a lesson that when to go to war and when not, India will decide. He said that communalism is on the rise in the country and a burqa-clad woman was forced to chant the slogan of Jai Shri Ram and was mistreated. Muslims are being targeted. This is completely wrong. This kind of communalism should also end. The government also needs to put a stop to this.
