New Delhi: Amid the ongoing controversy between Nawab Malik and Sameer Wankhede, Union Minister Ramdas Athawale on Sunday (November 1, 2021) extended his support to Narcotics Control Bureau's (NCB) Mumbai zonal director and claimed that he is a Hindu Dalit and a follower of BR Ambedkar.
The Republican Party of India (A) chief also asked Malik to refrain from 'conspiring' to defame Wankhede and his family members. Athawale's remarks came after Wankhede's wife Kranti Redkar and her father-in-law Dnyandev Wankhede called on him on Sunday.
"I have gone through the documents. Sameer Wankhede is a Hindu dalit. He is a follower of Babasaheb Ambedkar. He is not Muslim," the Union Minister said.
