PM Modi Asks Parth Pawar About Mother Sunetra During NDA MPs Meet

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday interacted with newly-elected NDA Lok Sabha MPs during a breakfast meeting and asked Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) MP Parth Pawar about the well-being of his mother and Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Sunetra Pawar.

During a candid conversation in Marathi, PM Modi asked Parth Pawar, “How is your mother?” He then advised him to “take care of her”.

Parth Pawar’s father Ajit Pawar, who served as the Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra, died in January this year after his aircraft crashed nearly 100 metres from the edge of a tabletop runway at Baramati airport in Pune district. The aircraft caught fire during what officials described as a second landing attempt amid poor visibility.

Following Ajit Pawar’s death, his wife Sunetra Pawar assumed the position of Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra.

The breakfast meeting was held by PM Modi amid the ongoing disruptions in Parliament. Around 45 MPs attended the meeting, including seven MPs from the Shiv Sena, 20 from the National Citizens Party of India (NCPI), and two from the NCP (Ajit Pawar).

During the interaction, PM Modi urged the MPs to actively participate in parliamentary debates. He described Parliament as the “supreme temple of democracy” and expressed concern over repeated disruptions in the House.

Sources said PM Modi highlighted that the ongoing uproar was preventing newly-elected MPs from getting an opportunity to speak in Parliament. “This is unfair to them,” he reportedly said, adding that parliamentary proceedings “must run smoothly”.

The Prime Minister also advised the MPs to read, learn, and understand the history of Parliament.

PM Modi further assured the Trinamool rebels and the six former Shiv Sena (Uddhav camp) MPs who recently joined the Eknath Shinde-led Sena that he stands with them and that they had “nothing to worry about”.

“The NDA is a family. We are with the constituent parties. Every individual will be respected and given a chance. I am with every MP, not just one constituent party of the NDA. I stand with every MP of the NDA. You don’t need to worry about anyone,” he said.

Earlier on Wednesday, PM Modi had hosted a dinner meeting with 37 BJP MPs at his official residence as part of his ongoing outreach programme with lawmakers.

The meetings reflect the Prime Minister’s continued engagement with NDA members as Parliament faces disruptions and newly-elected MPs begin their legislative responsibilities.
