Meanwhile, Pawar smartly dodged a question regarding the recent statement of Pakistani Foreign Minister in regard to providing extra security to Bollywood star Shahrukh Khan. He said that the matter is related to Union Government and not concerned to Maharashtra in any way.
It may be noted that Shahrukh has recently said in an interview that being a Muslim he has to face lots of problems in the country, particularly after 9/11 attacks in New York.
Pawar said that he was ready to answer any question regarding Vidarbha. “Ask me about Gosikhurd not Shahrukh”, he quipped.
When one of the scribe intervened asking that Shahrukh resides in Mumbai, Pawar skipped the reply.
