'Sanjay has been judged by all for 20 years'

March 23, 2013 19:50

Sanjay Dutt's sister and Congress MP Priya Dutt on Saturday issued an emotional statement in the wake of the Supreme Court upholding the TADA Court's verdict against the actor in connection with the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts case.

"A 20 year ordeal has finally come to an end. 20 years is a lifetime for most people. In Sanjay's case this has been a lifetime of tension and anxiety, a lifetime of repentance and reform, a lifetime of punishment and trial.

For Sanjay, versions of verdicts have been passed on him throughout these years. He has been judged by all during these 20 years and sometimes in the most harsh ways. Yet he has stood strong and firm, normalised his life, served society, helped and stood by his colleagues, friends and family and is today one of the most dependable people in the film fraternity.

As a sister, as a family...we will always stand by him. That is what any loving family will do. It is only logical that as a family we will explore every option," the statement said.
