Baramati plane crash | 'Maharashtra government must provide security to Rohit Pawar': Supriya Sule

'Rohit Pawar has been placing facts, issues and questions in a well-researched and thoughtful manner reflecting public sentiment,' said Supriya Sule

IIn a fresh development related to the Baramati plane crash, NCP (SP) working president and Baramati MP Supriya Sule has sought police protection for her nephew and MLA Rohit Pawar, who has been raising concerns and questions about the air accident involving his uncle, Ajit Pawar.

Rohit Pawar, who is an MLA from NCP (SP) from Karjat Jamkhed, has addressed three big press conferences and multiple brief interactions, has raised questions about the pilot, the VSR Ventures Pvt Ltd, the charter company that owned the Learjet, and even demanded the removal of Civil Aviation Minister K Rammohan Naidu till the probe is over.

In a statement, Supriya Sule said: “Rohit Pawar has been placing facts, issues, and questions in a well-researched and thoughtful manner reflecting public sentiment. If the authorities delay in providing answers, the unease will only grow further. To prevent this from escalating, it is essential that the truth of the incident comes out before the public in a completely transparent manner.”

She stated that questioning the system is a constitutional right of every Indian citizen.

"It is extremely important that he is provided adequate security, and the full responsibility to ensure his safety must be taken by the state government," she said.

Sule’s statement comes a day after Rohit Pawar said that his family members have expressed apprehensions over his security.

“After (Rohit Pawar) raising questions, we are seeing reactions in the media and on social media, also about the security concerns. Even I am concerned about his security, so I appeal to the Chief Minister that Rohit Pawar's security be reviewed and enhanced in these circumstances,” he said in an appeal to Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.
