Maharashtra may see Manipur-like unrest, says Sharad Pawar

Sharad Pawar, NCP (SP) chief, voiced concerns about potential disturbances in Maharashtra similar to those in Manipur, urging societal unity. He criticized the Centre’s handling of Manipur’s ethnic strife and reiterated worries about community rifts over quota issues. BJP’s Chandrashekar Bawankule deemed Pawar’s remarks inappropriate and potentially inflammatory.
