“It is learnt from various media reports that Sharad Pawar has called a meeting of the national executive/national working committee/national office bearers/state party presidents of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) today, i.e. on 06.07.2023 at New Delhi,” the statement from Ajit Pawar camp said.

It added, “Ajit Pawar has been elected as the national president of NCP on June 30, 2023 with the overwhelming support of the majority of elected representatives of NCP as well as the members working on different organizational posts.”

“The dispute on the question of who represents the real NCP is within the exclusive jurisdiction of the ECI and therefore no person within the party has any authority to call for any meeting of the national executive/national working committee/ national office bearers / state party presidents till such time the dispute is finally decided by the ECI. Therefore, the meeting of the national executive/national working committee/ national office bearers / state party presidents of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) today, i.e. on 06.07.2023 scheduled on 06.07.2023 has no legal sanctity whatsoever. Further, any of the decisions which may be taken in the so called national executive/national working committee/ national office bearers / state party presidents shall have no valid legal basis and shall not be binding on anyone in the party,” it said.
