For Babbar, it146;s back to acting

Babbar said, 8216;8216;Maharaja Ranjit Singh is perhaps one of the greatest secular rulers of his time. His 40-year-reign has lessons for us even today. He ruled over a population which comprised 85 per cent Muslims, the rest were Hindus and Sikhs. He did not believe in capital punishment and encouraged harmony among all communities.8217;8217;

On his political future, Babbar said he was not in a mood to make any move in a hurry. 8216;8216;I will wait for my party to take a decision on me and then decide,8217;8217; he said. 8216;8216;I will take my cause of ridding politics of 8216;fixers8217; to the people. I hope to make it a public movement, because only the people can rid public life of this malaise,8217;8217; he added.

Babbar says he has already got a commitment from political stalwarts like former prime minister V P Singh, as well as socialist leaders like Madhukar Dighe and Rameshwar Singh.

8216;8216;Once the Budget session begins, I will get MPs from like-minded parties to form a pressure group within Parliament,8217;8217; he said.
