Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma, who’s known for his viral remarks, is once again in limelight because of his statement over NCR chief Sharad Pawar. When Assam CM Sarma was asked about Sharad Pawar’s opinion on the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, he said, “I think Sharad Pawar will send Supriya Madam to Gaza to fight for Hamas.”
These comments of CM Himanta Biswa Sarma came a few days after Sharad Pawar said that the former Prime Minister of India also “stood strongly with Palestine”. Terming Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s support to Israel as ‘unfortunate’, Shadar Pawar had said that he has ignored the real issue.
“We both share same DNA”: Supriya Sule
Now, NCP MP Supriya Sule has given a strong reaction to this statement of Sarma. Supriya Sule said that BJP’s behaviour is unfair towards women.
NCP MP and Sharad Pawar’s daughter Supriya Sule replied to Himanta Biswa Sarma’s statement, “I am surprised because Himanta Biswa Sarma also has the same DNA as me. He is from Congress, and we both have Congress DNA in us. You know that BJP’s behaviour is unfair towards women, but I had expectations from Himanta Biswa Sarma. I am surprised how his thinking towards women has changed. It seems that BJP has had too much influence on him. BJP IT cell should first understand what Sharad Pawar has said, and they should listen to his (Sharad Pawar) complete statement.”

Sharad Pawar supported Palestine
Sharad Pawar had said, “The entire land belongs to Palestine and Israel has occupied their land. That place, land and house, everything belonged to Palestine and later Israel occupied it. Israel is an outsider. And the land originally belonged to Palestine.” He also said that the NCP stands with those who are “originally” Israeli.
BJP Criticised Pawar’s Remark
Pawar’s remarks have been criticised by the BJP. Earlier, Union Minister Piyush Goyal said that Sharad Pawar’s statement is very disturbing when senior leaders like him give absurd statements on India’s stand on terrorist attack in Israel. Piyush Goyal said in a tweet, “Pawar ji was a part of the same Government that shed tears on the Batla House encounter and slept while there were terror attacks on Indian soil. This rotten mindset has to stop. I hope Pawar ji at least now, thinks of the nation first.”
It is very disturbing when a senior leader like @PawarSpeaks ji makes preposterous statements on India’s stand on a terror attack in Israel. The menace of terrorism has to be condemned in all forms, in any part of the world. It is a pity that a person who has been India’s Defence…

Sharad Pawar’s statement came days after PM Modi expressed solidarity with Israel and condemned the terrorist attacks carried out by Hamas.
