Pawar counters Raut, backs India's global outreach efforts

At a time when the BJP and its allies are celebrating India's answer to the Pahalgam terror attack by taking out 'tiranga yatras' across the country, the Raj Thackeray-led Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) has written to prime minister Narendra Modi, requesting restraint in victory rallies since the war is not over yet and Indian soldiers have lost their lives.

MUMBAI:

The letter has been written by Raj Thackeray's son, Amit, who, after thanking Modi for his "tough stand on terrorism", has emphasised that the numerous victory rallies have caused confusion since the war is not over though there is a ceasefire with Pakistan. "Besides, soldiers have lost their lives, and it is painful to see that celebrations are being organised," the letter says.
