    Sharad Pawar-ED showdown: NCP chief won't visit agency's office today
  • Sharad Pawar, the chief of Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), made a couple of flip flops on Friday.

    He was supposed to visit the office of Enforcement Directorate (ED), but just hours before his much-awaited trip the agency asked him "not to come".

    In what was seen as a dare, Pawar said he will go, nevertheless, only to ditch his plans after speaking with top police officials.

  • The case

    Why are Pawar and ED fighting each other?

    Credits:
  • The former Union Minister is being probed by ED in connection to a scam, amounting to Rs. 25,000 crore. Allegedly, Maharashtra Cooperation Bank illegally sanctioned loans, ignoring guidelines set by Reserve Bank of India (RBI).

    The money was disbursed to sugar factories and spinning mills in Maharashtra.

    Though several NCP leaders are allegedly involved with the bank, Pawar isn't.

  • Statement

    After case got limelight, Pawar said he isn't surprised

  • Along with Pawar, his nephew Ajit is also on the radar of the agency. After he was named in the case, the veteran politician said he would be more than happy to "visit jail".

    "I would have been surprised had such action not been taken against me after kind of response I receive during my visits to various districts of the state," he said.

  • Charges

    Saying won't bow down, Pawar volunteered to visit ED office

  • Terming the charges against him a case of "political vendetta", Pawar said he won't "bow down" before New Delhi, taking a dig at BJP which governs both Centre and Maharashtra.

    He also said since he would get busy with assembly polls (Maharashtra will vote on October 21), he will visit ED's office on Friday.

    However, ED said it'll "inform" Pawar about his visit.

  • Anticipating tensions, Maharashtra police deployed heavy forces outside ED's office at Ballard Pier of South Mumbai. Security personnel also dotted Pawar's residence.

    In a late-night communication, police said prohibitory orders would be imposed in areas under the jurisdiction of Colaba, Cuffe Parade, Marine Drive, Dongri, Azad Maidan, JJ Marg, and MRA Marg police stations.

    Meanwhile, NCP alleged several of its workers have been detained.

  • As the stand-off continued, Mumbai Police commissioner Sanjay Barve paid a visit to Pawar's house, asking him to change his plans. The top cop reportedly told the politician his visit might hamper law and order.

    "Mumbai Commissioner of Police and Joint CP meet me today and requested me not to go so that the law and order situation remains under control," Pawar told media.

    Separately, Rahul Gandhi supported Pawar

  • Sharad Pawar Ji is the latest Opposition leader to be targeted by a vindictive Government. The timing of this action, a month before elections in Maharashtra, reeks of political opportunism. https://t.co/XCW0GsdXjj
