After Maharashtra Minister Nawab Malik's arrest in a money laundering case, the Bharatiya Janata Party has demanded the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader's resignation and warned of protests if he did not step down.

Speaking to media persons, Maharashtra BJP chief Chandrakant Patil said, "Nawab Malik has been arrested, he should resign now. We demand his resignation. If he doesn't, we will protest. How are they running the government? There's a long list of allegations against Maharashtra Ministers, will get tired reading it."
