He asked what exactly his crime was, saying that the entire nation knew that he always respected the law. He said that 96 cases had been registered against him.

“Whenever I leave the house, more cases are registered against me. Who is doing this? The criminals responsible for doing this to the country are the ones registering cases against me.,” he added.
