Ajit Pawar last rites

The last rites of Maharashtra Deputy CM and NCP chief Ajit Pawar will be held today, in Baramati, Pune, with full state honours, at 11 am. His mortal remains have been kept at the Vidya Pratishtan ground for people to pay their last respects. A huge gathering of party workers and supporters is expected to visit the ground during the day, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and other senior political leaders. The funeral procession of Pawar began at 9 am.

After his tragic death, the Maharashtra government also announced a three-day state mourning. During this time, the national flag will be flown on all government institutions in the state. Meanwhile, the police has registered an accidental death report (ADR) regarding the plane crash, which took the lives of four others along with Pawar. Moreover, the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) has taken over the probe.

In his first address after Ajit Pawar’s death, NCP chief Sharad Pawar called the loss heartbreaking and said, “Some people are trying to give a political colour to the incident. There is no politics involved; it is purely an accident. It has caused immense grief to me and to the entire state of Maharashtra. I appeal to everyone not to politicise this tragedy. He was in Delhi for the Parliament’s Budget session, but left immediately upon hearing the news of Ajit’s accident.

Ajit Pawar and four other people on the airplane were killed after it crashed just 200 metres from the edge of a tabletop runway at Baramati. A few videos from the accident site of the charter place surfaced on the internet yesterday. According to a PTI report, he was flying on an upgraded version of the Learjet forty-five called the Learjet forty-five XR.
