Baramati, Maharashtra — Claims circulating on social media and some messaging platforms on Wednesday alleging that last rites for Ajit Pawar would be held in Baramati today are false, according to confirmations from party officials and public representatives. No official announcement has been made regarding any such event, and leaders have stated that Ajit Pawar is alive.
The unverified reports also asserted that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah would attend the alleged ceremony. Government sources and party functionaries said these claims are baseless and not supported by any official schedule or communication.
No Official Statement or Schedule Released
There has been no official statement from the Government of India, the Government of Maharashtra, or Ajit Pawar’s party confirming any illness, death, or funeral arrangements. Leaders from the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) described the messages as misinformation and urged the public to rely on verified sources.
Senior party representatives said no travel plans involving the Prime Minister or the Home Minister to Baramati have been announced in connection with any personal event. Official diaries and public schedules released by the Prime Minister’s Office do not list such a visit for today.
Origin and Spread of the False Claims
The claims appear to have originated from unverified social media posts and forwarded messages, which rapidly spread across platforms without attribution. Media ethics experts note that fabricated announcements about public figures often gain traction during periods of heightened political activity and stress the importance of verification before sharing.
Local authorities in Baramati said there are no special security arrangements or public advisories that would typically accompany a high-profile funeral or the visit of senior national leaders, further underscoring that the reports are untrue.
What Is Known and What Is Not
- Confirmed: Ajit Pawar is alive; no funeral or last rites are scheduled.
- Confirmed: There is no official travel plan for Prime Minister Narendra Modi or Home Minister Amit Shah to attend any such event today.
- Not Released: No official clarification has been issued detailing the source of the misinformation; authorities have not announced any investigation at this time.
Officials and party leaders appealed to the public to avoid sharing unverified claims and to depend on announcements from recognized institutions and credible news organizations.
