The PM Modi-Sharad Pawar meeting lasted for 20-25 minutes. "If a central agency takes a step like this, then they have to take responsibility for it", said Pawar during the meeting.
Speaking to the media, Pawar had admitted that since all the blasts in 1993 had occurred in Hindu majority areas, he had concocted an extra bomb blast, which never happened, at the Muslim majority area of Masjid Bandar in Mumbai.
BJP Leader Devendra Fadnavis held protests in Mumbai demanding the resignation of Nawab Malik. He said that the party will continue protests until Nawab Malik resigns from the Ministry.
"When Sharad Pawar was summoned by the ED for questioning, NCP members gathered in large numbers in front of the ED office. When a Nawab Malik or an Azam Khan is arrested, no one goes to support them," AIMIM leader Imtiaz Jaleel asserted.
The Bombay HC opined that exertion of influence and clout by NCP chief Sharad Pawar and his daughter Supriya Sule on the govt machinery led to the development of the Lavasa project
