Bathinda: Actor-philanthropist Sonu Sood, who emerged as a real-life hero for thousands of migrants during the lockdown, on Sunday announced his sister Malvika Sood Sachar’s intention to join Punjab politics, but added he has no such plans for himself. Sood, who is from the Moga district, said his sister has done a lot of amazing work in the past and wanted to amplify her activities by contesting the forthcoming state assembly polls.

Speaking to reporters in Moga, his hometown, Sood said: “Election manifesto, where political parties make a lot of promises but most of the time complaints keep coming up of (parties) not fulfilling these promises, should be a sacred document. Malvika will give an affidavit of standing by what she promises to the people. If she fails to deliver, she will give up (politics).”
