Mumbai : Three weeks after the Jan 28 Baramati air-crash and a week after Nationalist Congress Party (SP) MLA Rohit R. Pawar started deep-diving into its causes, his aunt and party Working President, Supriya Sule ,expressed public concerns over his safety and security. In his second media-briefing on Wednesday, Rohit Pawar had himself revealed how his family was concerned about the risks to his life as he continued a solitary crusade to unravel the mystery behind the air-crash which killed his uncle, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) President and Deputy CM Ajit A. Pawar. Sule said that Sunetra Pawar, her sons Parth and Jay, as well as nephew Rohit Pawar, and the entire Pawar clan are deeply concerned about the events in the past three weeks. “Rohit Pawar is extremely disturbed… He is running around collecting details to piece together the sequence of the events leading to the crash. He is diligently pursuing to unravel the truth behind the disaster, bringing it in front of the media for the consumption of the masses,” said Supriya in a supportive tone. Not only the Pawar family, but lakhs and crores of people all over the country have many doubts and questions pertaining to the air-crash, and Rohit Pawar is attempting to find answers for them. Both, Parth and Jay (Ajit Pawar’s sons) are still very young and were devastated by the tragedy, but now they are expressing themselves, she pointed out. “Rohit Pawar is showing factual data which can unnerve many… I am naturally worried about his safety… I appeal to the CM Devendra Fadnavis to review his security and upgrade his cover as required,” asserted Sule with a frown over the possible political backlash after the series of revelations. Ruling Mahayuti allies NCP Minister Chhagan Bhujbal and Shiv Sena Minister Sanjay Shirsat said that if a security upgrade is required, the CM will review and take a decision. However, BJP Minister Radhakrishna Vikhe-Patil appeared dismissive and virtually asked Rohit Pawar to stop his crusade and have faith in the investigation agencies. In a telling comment, Jay Pawar said that it was not possible for the aircraft’s Black Box to get damaged (as contended by the authorities), and sought a detailed, transparent and impartial probe into the crash. He also demanded grounding the entire fleet of VSR Ventures Pvt Ltd and investigate the potential irregularities that have been alleged by Rohit Pawar. NCP (SP) Spokesperson, Vikas Lawande slammed the army of trolls targeting Rohit Pawar after his two major power-point presentations that have rattled the aviation and political establishments. “Why are many people in the BJP so uncomfortable by the serious questions raised peacefully by Rohit Pawar, with logic, precision, and some evidence, regarding the suspicious death of Ajit Pawar, or the demand for a thorough investigation? It seems that some ministers, MPs and MLAs are rattled by this and don’t want a probe to bring out the truth. Why do they protect the VSRVPL or the DGCA,” questioned Lawande. World media scanner on Baramati crash Multiple publications, television and online channels globally have given prominent coverage to the Jan 28 Baramati air-crash, as also the subsequent developments with references to Rohit Pawar’s darts on doubts and delays targeting the officialdom. Several global or syndicated digital news feeds originating from India have amplified his contentions for the global media, particularly his demands to include US or European agencies into the Learjet 45 crash that killed Ajit Pawar. Since Jan. 28 prominent outlets like Reuters, AFP, AP, BBC, Gulf News, Al Jazeera, New York Post, a host of India-interest websites, online television channels, etc, have covered the crash and the subsequent follow-ups regularly.
