MUMBAI: Shiv Sena(UBT) has claimed that the pride of every 'Marathi Manoos' has been dented after the high-value land deal in Pune's upscale Mundhwa-Koregaon Park, involving Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar’s son Parth Pawar, came to light and was quickly cancelled later.
The party in its mouthpiece, 'Saamana' said, "What is annoying is the Fadnavis government gave a 'clean chit' to Parth Pawar as an FIR was not registered against him despite holding 99 per cent share in Amedea Enterprises LLP, but was filed against his cousin Digvijay Patil, who is a signatory of the sale deed and holds one per cent share. No one will hold Chief Minister Fadnavis' hand in giving a clean chit. It is dangerous to send the message to society that if a thief returns the stolen goods, he gets a clean chit. If a madman enters the Mantralaya and stabs a corrupt person in a fit of rage and returns the weapon as soon as the police register a case, will the crimes against him be forgiven?"
