Sambhajinagar: Nationalist Congress Party (NCP-SP) Chief Sharad Pawar hit back at Amit Shah saying it was strange that a person who had been externed from Gujarat by the Supreme Court was leading such an important ministry in the country.
Sharad Pawar was hitting back at Shah days after Shah called him the "ringleader of corruption in politics."
"A few days ago, Home Minister Amit Shah attacked me and said a few things. He said that Sharad Pawar is the commander of all the corrupt people in the country. Strangely, the man who is the Home Minister of the country today is such a person who misused the law of Gujarat and for this, the Supreme Court banished him from Gujarat," said Sharad Pawar.
"The one who was banished is the Home Minister of the country today. So, we should think about where we are headed. The way the people in whose hands I am are taking this wrong path, we should think about it; otherwise, they will 100 per cent take the country on the wrong path. We will have to pay attention to this," said Pawar.
Amit Shah had been externed from the state for two years in 2010 in connection with the Sohrabuddin Sheikh fake encounter case. He was later acquitted in the case in 2014.
This comes after Amit Shah mounted a scathing attack on opposition stalwart and NCP (SP) chief Sharad Pawar earlier in the latter's home district of Pune by calling him the 'Sargana' (ringleader) of the corrupt people in the country. (with Agency inputs)
