Malik, who is the NCP’s national spokesperson, said the commission had asked Pawar, who is a Rajya Sabha member, when it would be convenient for him to depose as a witness before it.

“Pawar said April 4 in the afternoon will be convenient for him as Parliament session would be over by then. Accordingly, the Commission has summoned him on April 4,” Malik told reporters at the state secretariat here.

He also said that the NCP continues to believe that the 2018 caste violence was “preplanned”, while adding that that commission headed by Justice (retd) J N Patel, whose term ends on April 8, could get a fourth extension.

While Pawar has already filed an affidavit before the panel, others such as BJP leader and former chief minister Devendra Fadnavis haven’t, he claimed.
