Mumbai, Oct 1 : The fiery but unpredictable Parth Pawar – grand-nephew of Nationalist Congress Party President Sharad Pawar – on Thursday suddenly stirred up Maharashtra politics by giving a ‘wake-up’ call to the Maratha community.
Known to have an independent mind, Parth, the 30-year old son of state Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, called upon the agitated and agitating Marathas to ensure they get justice by way of reservations.
Raking up the issue of Maratha boy, Vivek K. Rahade – who allegedly died by suicide demanding quotas for the community in jobs and eduation – Parth warned: “The flame that Vivek has ignited in our minds can set the whole system ablaze.” Stating he was “devastated” to hear of Vivek’s death, Parth added before “a chain reaction of such unfortunate incidents starts, Maratha leaders have to wake up and fight for this cause”.
“The future of an entire generation is at stake…Requesting Maharashtra government to step in to solve the crisis,” Parth urged, and announced his intention to move the Supreme Court by filing an intervenor application in the pending Maratha reservations matter cases.
“I am ready to carry the burning torch of Maratha agitation in my heart and knock the doors of justice for Vivek and millions of other helpless ‘Viveks’. Jai Hind, Jai Maharashtra,” assured Parth to the Maratha youth.
