New Delhi, 03 May (H.S.):

Rajya Sabha MP Sandeep Pathak, who recently resigned from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), has claimed that two FIRs have been registered against him in Punjab through misuse of power and said he will give an appropriate response once he receives official information through formal and other channels.

Pathak addressed the media outside his residence in Delhi on Sunday regarding the two FIRs registered against him in Punjab. On Saturday, Punjab Police had come to his residence to arrest him, but he had left his home before their arrival. On Sunday, he held his press interaction in the presence of Delhi Police personnel posted at his residence.

Speaking to reporters, Pathak said that news channels had been reporting since yesterday that two FIRs had been filed against him in Punjab, but he has so far received no formal or informal information from any official source. “It is possible that FIRs have been registered against me through misuse of power,” he said, adding that he would give a clear and detailed response once he receives proper information.

The MP also highlighted his clean and principled political career, stating that he had always worked in AAP on the lines of policy and political ethics, and would continue to do the same in the BJP. For him, political integrity and values matter more than success or failure in politics, he said. Pathak emphasised that he had left AAP for ideological and methodological reasons, not for personal or individual motives.
