Expressing strong displeasure with the ongoing excavation to unearth the treasure-trove of 1,000 tonne gold in Unnao, NCP president and Union Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar on October 19 said Government agencies should not participate in the hunt based on the ‘dream’ of a seer as it would give rise to superstitions.
“Nothing is going to fall in the hands. We are against such activities and against people who seek to propagate such message,” Pawar said here.
“Government agencies should not participate in such work,” the NCP chief said, apparently referring to the Archaeological Survey of India’s role in the digging taking place in Unnao district in Uttar Pradesh.
The excavation work was being carried out amid tight security at the fort of king Raja Rao Ram Bux Singh in Daudiakala village.
