Mamata Banerjee calls NCP chief Sharad Pawar after Nawab Malik's arrest

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee spoke with Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) Chief Sharad Pawar on the phone over the arrest of Nawab Malik and expressed her solidarity with the Maharashtra minister.

The Enforcement Directorate arrested NCP leader Nawab Malik in connection with a case related to elements linked to Dawood Ibrahim and the



underworld.

Mamata Banerjee said a strong and united Opposition must be built to counter the way the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) are being used against Opposition leaders.

Besides, Mamata Banerjee has always maintained that BJP uses Central agencies against Opposition parties to counter them politically.
