BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis launched a no-holds-barred attack on NCP chief Sharad Pawar over his statements on various issues, including Article 370, 'The Kashmir Files' movie and Ishrat Jahan, and accused his party of indulging in appeasement politics and polarising the society on communal basis. In a series of 14 tweets which coincided with the 131st birth anniversary of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar, Fadnavis also accused Pawar of going against the wishes and values of the chief architect of the Indian Constitution.

The BJP leader alleged that Pawar was the first person to use the word "Hindu terror". Citing the recent statements of Pawar in which he criticised 'The Kashmir Files', Fadnavis said the criticism was totally in line with the NCP's decades old track record of appeasement policy and politics and polarizing the society on communal basis.
