Pawar was sent back to Maharashtra from the Center
In those days there was a Congress government at the Center under the leadership of PV Narasimha Rao. After the demolition of the Babri Masjid on 6 December 1992, there were reports of communal tension in Maharashtra as well. The situation was not going well with CM Sudhakar Rao Naik. In such a situation, Sharad Pawar was sent back to Maharashtra. It was decided that Pawar would leave the post of Defense Minister and take over the chair of Maharashtra. Date- 6 March 1993. Sharad Pawar becomes the Chief Minister of Maharashtra. Six days pass. The day of March 12, 1993. There are 12 serial blasts one after the other in Mumbai. These serial blasts took place at 11 places.

Pawar said blasts took place at 11 not 12 places.
The names of Dawood Ibrahim and Tiger Memon came to the fore behind the blasts. D Company had hatched this whole conspiracy. But when the blasts took place, the then Chief Minister Sharad Pawar said that blasts took place at 12 places, not 11, in Mumbai. Not only this, Pawar pointed fingers towards the Sri Lankan terrorist organization Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) behind the blasts. Why did Pawar have to say this? A year ago, Sharad Pawar himself had told why he gave the blast statement at the 12th place?

What was the clarification given by Sharad Pawar?
Sharad Pawar said during a press conference in Jalgaon in April last year, ‘I had said that the 12th place of serial blasts is Mohammad Ali Road. Because of this there were no communal riots in Mumbai. I had mentioned a Muslim area as the 12th place. This thing is hundred percent true. I said this because the 11 places where the blasts took place had important places associated with the Hindu community. There was also a Siddhi Vinayak temple in it. I personally investigated the material used in the blasts, which were not made in India but in Karachi. That is, it clearly meant that a neighboring country wanted to create disharmony between Hindus and Muslims. Their aim was to set Mumbai on fire. But local Muslims were not involved in this. Referring to the Srikrishna Commission that probed the blasts, Pawar had said, “The commission had also agreed that if I had not taken this stand, Mumbai would have burnt.”

Fadnavis has also surrounded Pawar
Maharashtra’s Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis has also surrounded him on this statement of Sharad Pawar. Devendra Fadnavis said in April 2022, ‘When Mumbai was shaken by 12 blasts, Sharad Pawar invented the 13th bomb blast in a Muslim area. His first priority was appeasement rather than law and order. We expect communal harmony, then why such a double standard?
