Sharad Pawar & his Praises for Pakistan

Sharad Pawar is the self-proclaimed Maratha strongman. Once he also held the important portfolio of Defense in the Central government. The followers of Sharad Pawar compare him with the Great Shivaji, the Maratha Emperor, who fought against the Mughals for the interest of the Marathas. Coming to the NCP leader who is hungry for power made a stunning U-turn recently when he heaped praises for today’s ‘Mughals’ in Pakistan. Whatever may be the reason; but singing praises for a rogue nation is totally unpardonable. The electorates of Maharashtra must have taken note of it since the Assembly elections there are slated shortly. One can only hope that the people of Maharashtra would give a befitting reply to Sharad Pawar.
