Pankaja Munde's Statement Regarding Dhananjay Munde Who Is In The Vipassana Center

Amid ongoing controversies and legal challenges, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader and MLA Dhananjay Munde has taken a spiritual detour by entering a Vipassana meditation center in Igatpuri, Nashik. His sister and senior BJP leader Pankaja Munde has reacted to the development, calling it a “right decision” and a much-needed step for mental peace.

Dhananjay Munde, who has been embroiled in multiple controversies in recent months, including his alleged involvement in the murder case of Sarpanch Santosh Deshmukh from Beed district, has reportedly withdrawn from public life temporarily. He is also facing allegations from Karuna Munde, which have added to the political and personal turmoil surrounding him.

Due to the mounting pressure from these cases, Munde was compelled to resign from his ministerial post. Now, after being at the Vipassana center in Igatpuri for the past eight days, his decision has drawn public and political attention.

When asked about her brother’s retreat into meditation, Pankaja Munde told the media, “He has chosen the right path. In such circumstances, seeking peace of mind is important. This decision will help him reflect and find calm amidst the storm.”

While Dhananjay Munde has not issued any public statements since entering the center, his stay is being viewed as both a personal break and a strategic move amid intensifying political and legal scrutiny.

The Munde siblings, once politically aligned, are now part of opposing parties—Dhananjay with the NCP and Pankaja with the BJP. Despite their political differences, Pankaja’s supportive statement has drawn attention for its composed and reconciliatory tone.

As investigations continue, the public and political observers alike await further developments, both in the cases involving Munde and in his political future.
