Leader of Opposition in Maharashtra Assembly Ajit Pawar on Friday said political parties, civil society and citizens must work towards ensuring peace in Aurangabad, where a person died after two groups clashed recently.
At least 12 people, including 10 policemen, were injured after a mob of around 500 people hurled stones and petrol-filled bottles when cops tried to control situation following a clash between two groups near the Ram temple in Kiradpura locality of Aurangabad.
“An unfortunate incident has occured in Sambhajinagar. There is a need to make efforts to ensure that a peaceful environment prevails. Though I am the Leader of Opposition, I will not make any statement which will deteriorate the atmosphere. The police are doing their work but everyone, should work towards prevailing peace there,” he said.
