Ajit Pawar funeral LIVE updates: Don`t do politics over death: Shiv Sena slams Mamata Banerjee over ‘politicising’ Ajit Pawar’s demise

Shiv Sena leader Shaina NC on Thursday slammed West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for alleging a conspiracy behind the demise of Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister and NCP chief Ajit Pawar, urging her and others to refrain from politicising someone’s death. Speaking to media persons after Ajit Pawar`s sudden demise, West Bengal CM Banerjee claimed that Ajit Pawar was likely to leave the NDA and had been planning to return to the Opposition`s INDIA bloc. Shaina NC, speaking to IANS, termed the comments as `inappropriate and insensitive` and cautioned against using the unfortunate incident for political point-scoring.
