Sharad Pawar has made a statement telling the Enforcement Directorate (ED) that "I am your mehmaan. I am your guest. I accept your hospitality," said Nawab Malik, Mumbai-based national spokesperson of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) as the Maratha strongman claimed he would visit the ED office without any formal summons, today.

"The ED is being misused and they (the BJP) may deny this till they go blue in the face but this is a politically motivated move. It is an attempt to bring the Opposition into disrepute. But it has instead led people to question the timing of this move. It is an indicator that the public rallies held by Sharad Pawar have hit their mark and made the BJP nervous," Malik added.
