NCB has no connection with BJP: Ramdas Athawale refutes Nawab Malik's allegations

The Union Minister said that the NCP leader is deliberately making false allegations against BJP and that the anti-drug agency is an independent entity and is doing its work correctly.

New Delhi: Amid Maharashtra minister Nawab Malik's allegations that there is a connection between the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Union Minister Ramdas Athawale on Sunday (October 10, 2021) said that the anti-drug agency is an independent entity and its activities have no connections with the saffron party. 

Refuting Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader's allegations, Athawale told ANI, "NCB is an independent body. It has no connections with BJP. When it comes to its activities and functioning, political parties are completely unrelated and irrelevant. Malik is deliberately making false allegations against the BJP. NCB is doing its work correctly."

Nawab Malik had on Saturday alleged that there exists a connection between the Zonal Director of NCB Mumbai unit and BJP leaders.
