The Film industry strike that was supposed to take place on 12th December in support of Sanjay Dutt has now been called off. The signature campaign in support of Sanjay Dutt was initiated by Suniel Shetty wherein the entire film industry will be on a one day strike and sign petition in support of Sanjay Dutt. But when Sanjay Dutt got to hear of this initiative by the film industry for him, he became very emotional and had tears in his eyes. He wrote a letter to Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) and Cine and TV Artistes Association (CINTAA), and thanked everyone for showing this gesture towards him but has asked everyone to withdraw the strike and the campaign. In the letter Sanjay has written, When I heard that the film industry and its associations have decided to sign a letter in my support, it brought tears to my eyes and emotionally moved my sister and me, especially since none of the Dutt family members were told of this. We were kept totally in the dark about this campaign. My sister and I have been taken aback by this gesture. I humbly thank everyone and request them to withdraw their signature campaign on 12 December 2006. The rest is in God's hands. Like I have always said and I repeat, I have full faith in our Indian judiciary. The law will take its own course. Pray for me." If the strike would have taken place, it would have resulted into losses of millions. But Sanjay, like always has shown a big heart and has averted this loss which would have been caused because of him. Lage Raho Munnabhai. We are all with you.
