The leader shared a video of him joining the protest against CAA in Nanded.
In the video, while speaking at the protests, he said, "It is our government in Maharashtra. We got involved in the state government to keep the BJP away. Many of our Muslim brothers have said that BJP is the biggest enemy for them."
