On one hand, bjp leaders are adamant on the slogan 'Katenge toh Bantenge', on the other hand, AIMIM chief asaduddin owaisi is also continuously making statements. Recently, the AIMIM chief said, "Insult of islam and Prophet Muhammad will not be tolerated under any circumstances." Amidst these statements of Owaisi, ncp leader nawab malik has also reacted. Reacting to the statement of AIMIM leader asaduddin owaisi, nawab malik told news agency IANS, "I am a citizen of india and like other citizens, I too have my rights. I am also mentally safe. However, political obstacles are created. That is why Owaisi and the prime minister speak in their own way, but we do not do divisive politics. We only believe in unity and keeping all religions and castes together. Some people do politics of ideology, particular class and religion and we have been against it."

Will ajit pawar be the kingmaker?

On the other hand, on the maharashtra assembly elections, nawab malik said, "No issue is dominating the maharashtra elections and there is no wave in the state.

If they apologize, it is fine, otherwise we will file a criminal and defamation case against them." nawab malik said, "I was a minister six times and I could have been accused of corruption, but when they did not find anything, they were accused of money laundering. Whenever the court's decision comes, everything will become clear. A conspiracy is being hatched against me and an attempt is being made to tarnish my image. However, when there is an attempt to suppress me, the public stands with me and supports me with full force. nawab malik called dawood ibrahim an enemy of the country." He said, "He is an enemy of the country and the one who is accused, he answers for it. Dawood has fled the country and there are many types of allegations against him."
