Maharashtra Minister and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Nawab Malik on Sunday rubbished the reports of meeting between NCP Chief Sharad Pawar and Union Home Minister Amit Shah. He further alleged that such talk was the BJP’s way of creating “confusion”.
“A newspaper in Gujarat published a piece of news that (Sharad) Pawar Sahib and Praful Patel met Amit Shah. For the last two days, rumours are being spread on Twitter. No such meeting took place,” NCP leader Nawab Malik told ANI.

Meanwhile, numerous reports have speculated that Shah met Pawar and Praful Patel at a top industrialist’s residence in Ahmedabad on Saturday. However, Malik’s recent statement is likely to shut all speculations as no confirmation has been received from NCP supremo Sharad Pawar.
The recent clarification from Maharashtra Minister Nawab Malik comes after Amit Shah on Sunday gave a cryptic reply to a question about his alleged meeting with Sharad Pawar and contended, “Everything need not be made public,” said Shah at a BJP press conference a day after the first phase of polling in West Bengal and Assam.
