Last Updated: Dec 15 2019 | 2:36 PM IST

Nagpur (Maharashtra), Dec 15 (ANI): While speaking to ANI in Nagpur on December 15, the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Ajit Pawar spoke on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's dig at Veer Savarkar. He said, "This is a national level issue. But, I personally believe that we should give more emphasis to issues like-Maharashtra farmers, unemployment and inflation etc." On being asked if Savarkar issue will affect 'Maha Vikas Aghadi' (NCP-Congress-Shiv Sena) alliance in Maharashtra, he added, "Uddhav Thackeray, Sonia Gandhi and Sharad Pawar are mature people and they will make the right call." The former Congress chief on December 14 had said his name is not Rahul Savarkar and will not apologise for his "rape in India" remark.
