Amid reports that legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar sought help to rescue a plush holiday retreat he frequents in Landour, Mussoorie, the Rajya Sabha MP has issued a statement claiming that he does not have any ‘economic interest’ in the property.
 
According to a reports in Economic Times, Sachin apparently lobbied with defence minister Manohar Parrikar last year to settle a dispute between his friend's retreat in Mussoorie and the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO).
 
Reacting to news reports in this regard, Tendulkar's spokesperson issued a statement in which he, however, claimed that the cricketer does not have any "economic interest" in the Landour cantonment where the property is located.
    
"Tendulkar attended a meeting following which a formal written representation was submitted to the Ministry of Defence on a pending dispute regarding some development undertaken in Landour by Mr. Narang,” the statement said
 
“Tendulkar has always maintained that the prevailing laws of the land should be upheld while giving a fair opportunity to all parties concerned to present their points of view," the statement added without giving details of whom he had met in the government.
    
 A spokesperson for Tendulkar said he did not have any business relationship with Narang, who owns the property.
 
"Sachin Tendulkar has no present business relationship with Sanjay Narang nor does he have any economic interest, whatsoever, in the Landour cantonment," he said in a statement.
     
Meanwhile, Narang also denied any wrongdoing and rejected reports that Tendulkar is his business partner in the property.
     
"Dahlia Bank belongs entirely to Sanjay Narang and is  his personal residence. Tendulkar is a personal friend with no existing business relationship and having no ownership of Dahlia Bank," a spokesperson for Narang said in a statement.
