Party spokesman Manish Tewari said the basic principle of the Gandhian thought was non-violence and wondered how anyone justifying violence can be a Gandhian.

On Pawar’s statement that Justice P.B. Sawant Commission had spoken about the maladministration and corruption by Hazare, Tewari said that the report of the commission was self-speaking.

“The report is in the public domain and for everyone to read and come to a conclusion,” he said.

Pawar had Wednesday hit back at Hazare for justifying the recent physical attacks on politicians but appealed to his partymen to refrain from any violence.
