Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], February 24 (ANI): Maharashtra minister and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Nawab Malik's sister Saeeda Khan on Thursday said that Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government at the Centre is unsettled with the Opposition, alleging that her brother has been taken into custody out of vendetta.

Talking to ANI, Khan said, "ED took him into custody by misusing power. The protocol wasn't followed. I think the BJP govt is unsettled with the Opposition. This has been done out of vendetta. I went to meet him today because I'm his family physician."
