Soon after Malik appeared before the ED, NCP workers staged a protest near the party headquarters which is located near the ED headquarters. Party spokesperson Sanjay Tatkare said, “The protest is against the unjust questioning of Nawab Malik as he was exposing the BJP+NCB+CBI+ED nexus on a daily basis. We will not be cowed down. NCP will keep exposing BJP and all central agencies.”

Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut while addressing the media today said the way Malik was taken from his home by ED is a challenge to the Maharashtra government. He added, “A minister is taken away by central agencies by coming to our state. After 2024, you all will be probed too. Keep this in mind.”
