Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Nirupam countered AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi’s statement about a hijab-wearing woman becoming India’s Prime Minister. Nirupam suggested that such a woman could lead countries like Pakistan or Bangladesh instead. He criticized Owaisi, urging him to pursue his dream in Pakistan if he is adamant about a hijab-wearing woman as Prime Minister.
Nirupam highlighted the upcoming Somnath Swabhiman Parv, emphasizing its significance as a symbol of India’s self-respect and cultural heritage. He noted the historical importance of Somnath, recalling past invasions by Mahmud of Ghazni. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to participate in the event.
Commenting on Mamata Banerjee’s actions during an ED raid at the I-PAC office, Nirupam criticized her for interfering in official matters, which he deemed a violation of India’s constitutional system. He expressed concern over Banerjee obstructing central agencies’ work and impeding investigations, labeling it as illegal and urging for public awareness.
Nirupam addressed the resolution of internal family disputes within the Pawar family, citing Ajit Pawar’s statement on the matter. He noted the joint participation of parties led by Sharad Pawar and Ajit Pawar in municipal corporation elections as a positive sign of reconciliation within the family. The future political implications of this unity remain uncertain, pending decisions by Ajit Pawar and Sharad Pawar.
