Nawab Malik Making Baseless Claims Against Sameer Wankhede, Says BJP’s Chandrakant Patil

Mumbai: Maharashtra Bharatiya Janata Party president xon Monday slammed National Congress Party (NCP) leader Nawab Malik for accusing Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) director Sameer Wankhede at a time when party leader and former home minister of state Anil Deshmukh, accused in a money laundering case, is “absconding”.

“Instead of caring about Anil Deshmukh, he cares about Wankhede. His former home minister is absconding, he should find him. They should at least care about him being their family member,” Patil told the media. “Maha Vikas Aghadi gives statements that divert the main issues of the people of the state,” he added. Also Read: Will Soon Unveil Nawab Malik’s Links With Underworld, Says Devendra Fadnavis

Patil further claimed that Malik is making “baseless allegations” against Wankhede, because, “They don’t have anything to say on issues related to the people of Maharashtra.”

Earlier on Sunday, Malik reiterated his stand against the zonal director of Narcotics Control Bureau and said that he stood by his statements and his fight was against deception and not against religion or caste. He also accused Wankhede of snatching the opportunity of the Supreme Court and said the fight was not against his religion or caste but against ‘cheating’. Also Read: Drugs Business Flourished In Maharashtra Under Former CM Fadnavis’ Tenure, Alleges Nawab Malik
