Wherever and whenever the law directs, I will comply. I will always be present.”He further clarified that all legal aspects of the matter currently before the court will be handled by his lawyer.“Regarding the matter that is currently before the Honourable High Court, whatever legal questions arise, the proper response, with full facts and truth, will be given by our lawyer, Mr Bhaskar Upadhyay. I have entrusted him fully with staying in proper touch regarding the case,” he said.
