After Prime Minister Narendra Modi's jibe, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) supremo Sharad Pawar today said that the PM should give statements keeping his constitutional stature in mind. "Prime Minister's post is an important post. A PM should give a statement keeping his constitutional stature in mind. I don't know why he targeted me. But I think whatever he said is because of the fact that he was not briefed rightly. Whatever statement PM had made on me, I will respond to that keeping the importance and dignity of PM post," Sharad Pawar said while speaking at a press briefing in Mumbai.
