'I think Sharad Pawar will send daughter Supriya to Gaza': Assam CM Sarma's jibe on NCP leader's remark Reacting to Pawar's remark, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis stated that the veteran political leader should strongly condemn terrorism and shun vote-bank politics while talking about the Israel-Palestine issue. “My request to Sharad Pawar ji is not to think about vote-bank politics, but strongly condemn terrorism. “India has never changed its position on the Israel-Palestine dispute.

However, at the same time, India has been consistently against and has always strongly opposed terrorism in any form and against anyone. When the entire world has condemned the killing of innocent people in Israel and India did the same, Shri Sharad Pawar ji should also speak in the same language against terrorism," he said. Fadnavis also invoked past terror attacks in Mumbai," Fadnavis wrote on the X platform.
