After the alleged allegations by Former Param Bir Singh against Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh, Sharad Pawar came to Deshmukh’s defense and said that he will not resign. Pawar Also Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh was ailing and in hospital at the time he had allegedly met police officer Sachin Vaze and discussed an extortion racket, Nationalist Congress Party chief Sahrad Pawar said today.

“Anil Deshmukh was in hospital from February 5 to 15 and from February 15 to 27, he was in home isolation in Nagpur. Mr Pawar has called for an investigation into the allegations, though he said the final decision is up to Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray.

This is Pawar’s second big defense of Deshmukh in two days. On March 21, Pawar had said that the allegations against Deshmukh were ‘serious’ but questioned the timing.

The letter has created a flutter in Maharashtra politics with Opposition BJP demanding Deshmukh’s removal and President’s Rule in Maharashtra.

However, BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis pointed out that during the time of quarantine Anil Deshmukh was taking press conference.

“Shri Sharad Pawar ji said, from 15th to 27th February HM Anil Deshmukh was in home quarantine. But actually along with security guards & media he was seen taking press conference!, said Devendra Fadnavis.

Although, NCP leader Sachin Sawant has defended Pawar’s claim of home quarantine. Sawant took to his Twitter account and wrote, “On 24th February to demand investigation into the Delkar suicide case because HM was infected with covid and was hospitalized and then quarantined.”

“What  @PawarSpeaks  ji is saying is right. I had two online meetings with  @AnilDeshmukhNCP one on 8th Feb with a demand to inquire into the tweets of celebrities and another”, he concluded .
