"I don't want to talk about what happened today, how it happened. But the manner in which the ST workers broke into the house of Sharad Pawar's personal house where his wife and granddaughter live, is the first murder of democracy in Maharashtra, "said Home Minister Jitendra Awhad.He was speaking at a press conference in Thane.

This has never happened in the political culture of Maharashtra till now. Gopinath Mundhe verbally criticized Sharad Pawar in 1993.
