Pawar sees in state Manipur like portents

The Nationalist Congress Party (SP) chief Sharad Pawar has expressed serious concern over the potential for Manipur-like disturbances in Maharashtra, and underscored the need to maintain social unity.

"There is a concern that such a thing will happen here too. Everyone should, therefore, work to create 'eksangha rashtra' (united nation) going beyond caste, creed and religion, he added.

Pawar didn't specify the reason for his assessment; however, the remarks have come days after he flagged the "rift" among communities over the Maratha-OBC quota tussle; it has also come on the heels of recent criticism by Union Home Minister Amit Shah, who dubbed the veteran Maratha politician a "ringleader of corruption".
