Whether it is done by a person belonging to BJP or Congress, it is very condemnable. Baba Ramdev is national figure. And these incidents of insulting public leaders like Chidambaram when footwear was tossed at him or (slapping of) Sharad Pawar are equally condemnable. These acts are a misuse of media pu...
As per the preliminary discussions, President Pratibha Patil will inaugrate the centenary celebrations in the Parliament on March 12, 2012 and a key note address will be delivered by the primeminister himself
The way Anna Hazare reacted to the attack on India's Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar by a disgruntled man the other day was awful. Anna Hazare had followed the ideologies of Mahatma Gandhi and led a mass movement against corruption and inflation, which the youth had supported. We condemn his statement...
I don’t think it would be proper to blame the security persons.
Myself and Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar would meet them on December 14 here to clear their doubts
This is what I was told. I don't have exact information.
There is no place of violence when there is disagreement in a democracy. I condemn what happened with my colleague Union Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar
I have no proof to say this and hence I am not taking a political approach on the matter. However, attempts to show disrespect to Parliamentary institutions could a reason of the attack
It is unfortunate that a man decided to slap NCP President Sharad Pawar, but that gives no right to party workers to take to the streets and disrupt our lives. BEST buses were halted, auto rickshaw drivers were browbeaten to go off the roads. I saw some NCP party workers trying to block traffic on the W...
As I walked after attending the function some media people stopped and asked me some questions. As I took a step ahead, one hand came from the media side and just passed through my face. He was abusing some political parties and leaders
We condemn the attack on Sharad Pawar. The incident is most unfortunate. Don’t know where the country is going.
Let the law take its own course.
People are agitated over price rise. Just now, we have received information that agitated due to price rise, a person has slapped Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar
I am not a judge to give a pardon. It is a matter for the authorities in Delhi to handle
I know some of you love to do it. Corruption has no justification for any sought of civil behaviour. Sharad Pawar is a very senior leader of the country. He is a Cabinet minister and former chief minister. This sought of conduct is not any way civil or justified whatever be the perceived feelings. This ...
Why should I react? I won't call it breach of security because I don't take security with me. I'll see if this needs to be reviewed
As far as the incident with Sharad Pawar is concerned, on behalf of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) we strongly condemn such incidents. This incident cannot be justified under any circumstances. But the comment by the Congress spokesperson that this incident was caused by the statement of Yashwant Sinh...
The culture of our agriculture is unique in the world. It gives literary inspiration. ...You can capture the mood of a farmer when he smiles... when he waits for rains, his fear whether he will get good price in mandi or not...
First of all, we condemn what happened to Mr Sharad Pawar and perhaps there could have been proper preventive police action. But are the people of the country not in deep pain and distress because of price rise over three and a half years? That is the crucial question
I thought the man was a journalist and coming forward to ask a question
The Bharatiya Janata Party has never supported violence and will never do in the future too. We have always supported the notion of expressing disputes through non-violent means. Sharad Pawar is a decent man; he is a nice man and commands respect due to his age. Such incident on him is strongly condemne...
He has done it in media presence, it was a scuffle. It's a serious matter, but not sure whether he was a journalist or one amongst many who were there. We don't have to give much of an importance to this incident
Harvinder Singh was not one of the invitees. He was an intruder who came there to gain cheap publicity. He hit Sharad Pawar sahib only to make an appearance on television. He even pointed out to interrogators that he is on every television channel. I was told he threw a chappal at former telecom ministe...
