Sanjay is innocent: Sunil Dutt

AHMEDNAGAR: Defending his actor son who is an accused in the Mumbai serial blast case, Congress MP Sunil Dutt has alleged that criminals and mafia gangs were maligning Sanjay Dutt''s image.
"I am confident my son is innocent," Dutt told newspersons at Srirampur, 60 km from here on Friday after addressing a public meeting as part of the two-day ''Sadbhavana Yatra'' organised by the district party unit.
"Mafias and religious fundamentalists have made common man''s life miserable. My son has been targeted by these elements," he said.
Criticising the BJP and Shiv Sena for ''creating communal tension and defaming India worldwide'', Dutt said communal harmony was the real strength of the country.
