Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) spokesperson and Maharashtra minister Nawab Malik on Thursday launched a scathing attack on BJP and alleged that the party is using goons to defame Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU).

Malik further urged JNU's vice-chancellor not to indulge in politics. "This cannot be tolerated and VC must understand this.
