'Sunny Deol has no knowledge of politics': Congress MLA on BJP MP's beating remark
Congress took shots at BJP MP Sunny Deol for his recent statement in which he had claimed that he was "second to none when it comes to beating up someone."
The Congress party took shots at actor-turned-politician Sunny Deol for his recent statement in which he had claimed that he was "second to none when it comes to beating up someone." Deol made the comments when asked about the ongoing issues in his constituency Gurdaspur in Punjab. He alleged that employees of Punjab government, which is being ruled by the Congress, were harassing people of Gurdaspur district.
'I don't interfere in such trivial issues'
While addressing a public gathering in Pathankot, the BJP MP said, "I have been told that state government employees harass people saying they elected the wrong person. I don't interfere with such trivial issues. I don't believe in making controversial remarks but everyone knows no one is better than me when it comes to beating up someone."
Fault of BJP, not Deol
Reacting to this, Bhoa Congress MLA, Joginder Pal stated that it was BJP's fault for having chosen an actor to become a leader. "There is no fault of Sunny Deol in this, he has no knowledge of politics. The mistake is of the BJP, I do not know what forced Sunny to come into politics. He is dancing today just like he used to dance in films earlier," Pal told reporters in Pathankot.
