Pune docs take to Gandhigiri to rescue Sanjay - Sify.com

Pune docs take to Gandhigiri to rescue Sanjay
Friday, 10 August , 2007, 11:35
Pune: Even as Sanjay Dutt gets busy doing carpentry in the Yerawada Jail in Pune, his hardcore fans outside are planning on a novel approach to help... the Munnabhai way.
The philosophy of persuasion with love and patience — as preached by Dutt's character in the film Lage raho Munnabhai and called Gandhigiri — is what they have in mind. And guess what? These fans are doctors themselves. Bhalchandar Gaikwad, an administrative director at a pharmaceutical company in Pune, has decided not to sit back and watch the law take its own course.
He and a group of his friends are going from door to door gathering public opinion about the TADA court judgement giving Dutt six years of rigorous imprisonment for illegal possession of arms during the Mumbai blasts of 1993. Bhalchandar and his 165 friends organise meetings of student groups, IT professionals, office goers, businessmen and people from various backgrounds gathering their perspective about the case.
'The campaign is definitely not going to be the usual protest march, slogan shouting or placards. It's going to be done through Gandhigiri,' says Bhalchandran.
