Mumbai: Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Nawab Malik on Tuesday slammed Union Minister Narayan Rane for his alleged derogatory remarks against Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray.

Speaking to ANI, Malik said that the remarks made by Rane cannot be tolerated. “Narayan Rane said that he would have slapped the Chief Minister. This is not an insult to CM but to the whole Maharashtra state,” he stated.

Malik also said that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is trying to replicate in Maharashtra what they did in West Bengal.

“The way he spread violence in Bengal, he is trying to do the same in Maharashtra through Rane,” he said.

“Nobody is above the law. Strict action will be taken against such people who like to take law in their hands,” he further said.
