A day, after agitation for reservation for the Maratha community turned violent in Maharashtra, Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena on Saturday, launched a scathing attack on Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar, saying that the NCP supremo is rubbing salt on the wounds of the Maratha community and giving it a casteist connotation to law and order situation. 

This comes hours after NCP chief Sharad Pawar met Maratha quota agitators injured in police action and sought removal of the 50 per cent ceiling on reservations.
