Sunetra Pawar calls for non‑politicisation of Ajit Pawar’s death after Supriya Sule’s remark

Sunetra Pawar, wife of senior NCP leader Ajit Pawar, publicly urged politicians across parties to avoid turning her husband’s recent demise into a political tool. She made the appeal after Supriya Sule, a senior Congress leader, referenced the death in a remark that was perceived as a jibe.

Ajit Pawar, a prominent figure in Maharashtra politics, passed away unexpectedly, prompting an outpouring of condolences nationwide. Sule’s comment, though brief, sparked a debate on whether the tragedy was being used for partisan advantage.

In her statement, Sunetra Pawar emphasized the need for decorum and respect for the grieving family, asking leaders to focus on supporting the bereaved rather than scoring political points. She called for a period of silence and unity, reminding the public that personal loss should not be weaponised in political discourse.
