Nationalist Congress Party chief Sharad Pawar, on Tuesday, wrote a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi attacking Maharashtra’s Governor Bhagat Singh Koshiyari, reported PTI. 

Pawar mentioned that he is ‘shocked’ at the ‘intemperate language’ used by the Governor in the letter written to Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Uddhav Thackeray.

“Unfortunately Hon. Governors letter to the Chief Minister invokes the connotation as if written to the leader of a political party,” Pawar tweeted, as he released the letter written to the Prime Minister.

Earlier in the day, Koshiyari had written a letter to Thackeray to know the reasons behind the delay in reopening places of worship. He asked whether the CM has suddenly turned “secular”.

The Chief Minister then responded with another letter addressing Koshiyari’s comments on Hindutva.

“Isn’t secularism a key component of the Constitution, by which you swore while taking oath as the state governor. While considering the sentiments and beliefs of the people, it is also important to take care of their lives and it is wrong to impose and lift lockdown suddenly,” Uddhav wrote in the letter.

However, the latest in the letter business was the NCP chief who said, “In the very Preamble of our Constitution the word Secular is added that equates and shields all religions and hence the Chair of the Chief Minister must uphold such tenets of the Constitution.”

“I am sure he too would have noticed the intemperate language that has been used and also the kind of language used in the letter which does not behave well for a person who holds a constitutional position,” Pawar added.
