Rift over Elgar move? Pawar says Maha step `not proper`
(The Times of India)

NCP chief Sharad Pawar on Friday expressed his disapproval regarding Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray`s consent to hand over the investigation of the Elgar Parishad case to the National Investigation Agency (NIA). He, however, added that it was the CM`s prerogative to take the decision. `Law and order is a state topic but the Union government went ahead with its move, which is not proper,` he said.
