Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader and Maharashtra Minority Affairs Minister Nawab Malik said that those opposing the state government's decision regarding allotment of land to a trust should ask former state Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis as he had given "green signal" for the same.

Issuing a clarification on the reports that Maharashtra government has given land to Sharad Pawar's trust, Malik on Thursday said that land has been given on rent to the institute, not to his party chief Sharad Pawar, who is one of the trustees.
