In a fresh faceoff between MVA Government and BJP, Maharashtra Leader of Opposition Devendra Fadnavis has also demanded Maharashtra minister and NCP leader Nawab Malik’s resignation.
On Wednesday, March 2, Fadnavis said that the state government's support for minister Nawab Malik is unfortunate and reiterated.
These statements after Malik’s arrest by the ED in connection with a money laundering case linked to the activities of fugitive gangster Dawood Ibrahim and his aides.
While talking to reporters, Fadnavis said that it is unfortunate that the govt whose chief is a Shiv Sena leader is standing behind somebody who destroyed Mumbai. Nawab Malik should resign and the party will fight for this in the Assembly.
"People whose hands are stained with the blood of innocent people who died in the Mumbai blast are being supported by the Shiv Sena-led govt. Who are they siding with? Somebody who is accused of helping Dawood Ibrahim," BJP leader further added.
Meanwhile, BJP’s state unit chief Chandrakant Patil has earlier said that his party will not let the budget session of the state legislature function if Malik does not quit the cabinet.
For those unversed, Malik was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) last week in a case of money laundering linked to fugitive gangster Dawood Ibrahim and his aides. He has been remanded ED custody till March 3.
