Karnataka, Bengaluru: Deputy CM D. K. Shivakumar says, "Regarding the Ranya Rao ED case, I just spoke to Dr. Parmeshwara. There was a marriage. You see, we are in public life and run institutions many of us do. As a gesture people often give gifts during such occasions. Sometimes it’s one rupee, sometimes ten rupees, sometimes five lakhs or ten lakhs. I believe he might have also given a gift for the marriage. I don’t think there is anything wrong with that. No minister or politician would support any wrongdoing. Whatever the lady has done is a personal matter and it is wrong. The law will take its own course."
00:00See, Rania Rao EDKs, I just spoke to Dr. Parmeshwar, there was a marriage.
00:08See, we are in public life, we run institutions, so many run institutions.
00:14As a guest chair to people who know we may give a lot of gifts.
00:19We give gifts.
00:21We give 1 rupee, we give 10 rupees, we give 10 lakhs, 5 lakhs.
00:25I hope that he might have also given a gift for the marriage.
00:28I think there is nothing wrong in it.
00:31No minister or no politician will support the activities.
00:35Whatever the activities have been done by that lady, it is a personal issue and it is wrong and the law will take its own course.
00:43As far as Parmeshwar is concerned, who knows that we meet thousands of people every day.
00:49We don't know who does what.
00:51So the law will take its own course, we don't want to interfere with the law or the ED.
00:55But as for Parmeshwar, I just discussed with him, I met him this morning.
