Unintentional fault, says Dasmunsi

NEW DELHI: Expressing “shock and surprise” at the sentence announced for film actor Sanjay Dutt, Information and Broadcasting Minister Priyaranjan Dasmunsi on Tuesday said all efforts must be made to go for an appeal with the Supreme Court.

In a statement, the Minister said he did not want to question the judiciary, “but in a civil society the time has come to gauge the parameters for an unintentional fault for which Sanjay Dutt has already suffered long enough in the first instance.”

He said Sanjay’s contribution to society, personal behaviour and conduct had become an example for the younger generation.
