New Delhi, November 10

A day after former Mahaashtra CM Devedra Fadnavis accused him of links with the underworld, NCP leader and state minister Nawab Malik hit back alleging Fadnavis appointed people with criminal past to important government posts.

“There are more bombs to be dropped in the coming days,” Malik said.

Fadnavis met the NCP leader’s warning with a tweet, “I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it!” The NCP leader said on October 8, 2017, the Department of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) seized fake notes worth Rs 14.56 crore from the Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) in Mumbai but Fadnavis “swept the matter under the carpet”.

Sameer Wankhade (Narcotics Control Bureau, Mumbai zone chief) was DRI’s joint director at the time, the minister said. — TNS

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
