On Sunday, Nationalist Congress Party MP Supriya Sule's saree caught fire during an event in Pune, Maharashtra. Sule was participating in the inauguration of a karate competition in Hinjawadi, where she was garlanding a statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj when the incident occurred. A video of the incident shows her saree catching fire from a lamp on a nearby table. Sule later reassured the public that she was safe and there was no need for concern. "The fire was doused in time," she said in a statement. "I request all wellwishers, citizens, party workers, and leaders not to worry."
