The Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) has firmly dismissed efforts to politicize the tragic circumstances leading to the death of party leader and Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar in an air crash on January 28.

Addressing reporters, NCP chief spokesperson Anand Paranjpe stressed the need for a comprehensive investigation into the crash, especially in light of unresolved questions regarding potential last-minute decisions and technical difficulties with the aircraft.

Rohit Pawar's claims of Ajit's meeting prior to the fatal flight have prompted inquiries, with the NCP emphasizing family ties beyond blood relations and expressing concerns about political discussions that detracted from cultural norms during the period of mourning.
