Mumbai: After Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar received a death threat message, his daughter MP Supriya Sule called the move "low-level politics" and said it should stop.
Speaking to the media, she said: "I received a message on WhatsApp for Pawar Sahab. He has been threatened through a website. So, I have come to the Police demanding justice. I urge Maharashtra Home Minister and Union Home Minister. Such actions are low-level politics and this should stop."
On Thursday, Supriya got a threatening message on her WhatsApp for her father. A delegation of NCP workers led by her met Mumbai police Vivek Phansalkar and demanded action.
"The police have been informed, the home department needs to pay attention. Politics should be kept aside. Threatening messages have come through a website today, there are also threats through Twitter. I don't know who is who, I have come to seek justice," she added.
Criticising the Centre and State Home departments, she said: "Incidents are happening in a manner unlike before. What oppression is going on in the state? An incident has taken place over drinking coffee in Solapur. It is the failure of the Home Department. I request Amit Shah to look into what is happening in the Maharashtra Home Department."
She also called for a transparent enquiry into the incident and said Maharashtra before has been a peaceful state.
