Imparting a moral education to his nephew Ajit Pawar, Sharad Pawar has tried to pacify the anger expressed by media over the the former's daredevil demand to banish the media. Ironically, for Pawar senior, it took another political function held in Kolhapur to realise how goofed up he was when he stated that "one should take care while speaking to media". What prompted the union agricultural minister to execute a roll back in his previous statement, but media is a watchdog. It's a fourth state. So why quarrel with it? As a journalist I feel Maharashtra's deputy chief minister went overboard while addressing a gathering uttered in favour of banning some "stray" media persons.
