‘Myself and Gopal Joshi separated for more than 32 years’
The minister added that, “Myself and Gopal Joshi have been separated for more than 32 years. On earlier occasions when he (Gopal) faced some allegations of his conduct, I had bought an injunction from the Bengaluru City Civil Court for linking my name with him.”
Detailing the information given in the affidavit placed before the Court on November 22, 2013, Pralhad Joshi maintained that he (plaintiff) and Gopal V Joshi separated over 20 years.
“It is pertinent to mention here that I had also published an advertisement in leading local dailies on November 9, 2012, that whoever quotes my name for getting work done or any such claims that they are relatives, brother, friends etc., I am no way connected and responsible for such claim of others,” Joshi said while addressing the media.
Minister shows affidavit
Joshi said he would once again repeat that he has no connection whatsoever with his brother Gopal Joshi for the last 32 years.
“The extracts of the Affidavit and a copy of the Advertisement published in the newspaper are enclosed….Since FIR has been filed, I would like to say that let the law take its action, let there be an investigation,” the Union Minister maintained.
