Sharad Pawar defends Bhujbal, says NCP stands by him

June 18, 2015 18:28

Breaking his silence over ongoing probe by ACB against his party colleague Chhagan Bhujbal, NCP chief Sharad Pawar came out in strong defence of the former deputy chief minister saying the investigators are more interested in "publicity" than conducting a "fair" inquiry. "Instead of conducting a fair probe, the investigators are more interested in leaking information to the media. This is surprising. I have handled the home department and this is not the manner in which investigation is done," Pawar said.

Pawar said the ACB officers are exaggerating the valuation of Bhujbal's properties to the media. "Bhujbal is our colleague and we will stand by him without interfering in the probe. We would help him in every way," he said.
