MUMBAI: Supporters of Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar on Saturday threw black paint on the face of writer-author Namdev Jadhav.
This comes after Jadhav earlier alleged that during his tenure as chief minister of the state, Pawar did not give the Maratha community their due right of reservation (under other backward classes categories) in education and government jobs.
While addressing the media near the Patrakar Sangh, supporters of Pawar threw black paint on Jadhav’s face. They were also chanting slogans in support of Pawar.
