Chandigarh, May 17 :Actor-turned-politician and BJP candidate from Gurdaspur, Sunny Deol, who joined the BJP in April, is pitted against sitting MP and Punjab Congress candidate Sunil Jakhar.
Gurdaspur votes on May 19, the last phase of the Lok Sabha election.During the campaign trail, Deol admitted he didn’t know much about politics but called himself a patriot who wanted to work for the country.
When asked about what he would do for Gurdaspur, he told a newspaper: “I don’t want to say much as I am new here. After winning, I will understand the pace well as I will do things professionally.
There are so many things to be done here. I have to find different headings and find what the youth need and are looking for. That will give me a sense of what to do and then I will move ahead.
It will be an interesting process and we will find ways to do things.” Also in conversation with NDTV, Deol said he didn’t know much about the Balakot strikes.
“I do not know much about issues like the Balakot strikes or India’s relations with Pakistan. I am here to serve people; if I win maybe I will have an opinion, right now I don’t.”
The judgment was pronounced by Justice Sanjiv Khanna who was part of the bench headed by the CJI and Justice Deepak Gupta.
Pronouncing the operative part of the order, Justice Khanna said, “We are leaving it to the CBI to act in accordance with law.”
“Our February 5 order will continue for seven days from today to enable Rajeev Kumar to approach the competent court for relief,” he said.
At the outset, Justice Khanna, while pronouncing the order, said, “We have expressed our concern as to what has happened in the matter.”
The apex court on February 5 had granted protection from arrest to Kumar while directing him to appear before the CBI and “faithfully” cooperate in the investigation of cases arising out of the scam. PTI
