SUNIL DUTT TO SERVE NOTICE TO NIRUPAM

THE ASIAN AGE (JUN 2004)

By Skimmy Gupta


Actor and MP Sunil Dutt played the final trump card before Mumbai goes to polls on Monday. The veteran politician gave a fitting reply to false accusations of his poor attendance in Parliament by rival Sena canditate Sanjay Nirupam. Sanjay Nirupam at his various rallies and public meets across North West Mumbai Constituency repeatedly accused Dutt of attending only 13-15 days in his tenure as MP.Sunil Dutt produced an official document from Secretary’s office of Parliament, Delhi mentioning Dutt’s attendance as 99 days in a period of last four and half years. Dutt is also planning to serve a legal notice to Sanjay Nirupam for misleading people and maligning image of Congress candidate.

The actor elected from this suburban constituency of Mumbai since past four terms feels that election campaigning this year has stooped to personal attacks and false accusations. He says, “My constituency people are aware of my development work done by me in my tenure. The highlighting of my Parliament attendance and my bad health without knowing the actual facts was done in bad taste. I am also consulting my legal advisors to complain to Election Commission over this matter.”

Dutt informs that his ill health due to accident at Nepal and chopper crash near Mumbai paralyzed him for almost three and half years.”However I made sure to attend Parliament for 99 days from 10/10/99 to 05/02/2004 as against 15 days campaigned by Sanjay Nirupam.My rival should have got the facts right and told people the real reason of my absence.”


SALMAN KHAN WISHES SUNIL DUTT FROM RUSSIA

Couple of days ago actor Salman Khan called up Sunil Dutt from Russia. The actor wished good luck to Dutt for forthcoming elections and said that he could have personally wished him if he was present in Mumbai.

Dutt further stated “Certain sections of Christian, Muslim and other communities seem to shift towards rival camp. It does not make a difference, as some are shifting loyalties and not all. I believe in democracy and people have full right to exercise their personal choice. The citizen must be aware of the candidate’s profile, past performance and ability to deliver good results before casting their vote.”
