Abstrakt: Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) president Sharad Pawar has called for the withdrawal of a planned bandh (strike) in Maharashtra following a ruling by the Bombay High Court. The bandh was organized by the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) alliance to protest against the sexual assault of two four-year-old girls in a school in Badlapur. Pawar acknowledged the right to protest but emphasized the need to respect the judiciary. The High Court had earlier restrained political parties and individuals from calling for a bandh, and Pawar stated that it was not possible to appeal the decision to the Supreme Court due to time constraints.
