President's son Abhijit Mukherjee has reportedly said that what's happening during anti-rape protests in Delhi is like the 'pink revolution' conducted by people who have no idea of ground reality. A Bengali TV channel quoted Mukherjee saying, 'it's fashionable to attend protest march now.' 'Dented and painted women protesters in Delhi went to discotheques and then turned up at India Gate to express outrage over the gangrape in Delhi,' Mukherjee has reportedly said.
He also said that these protesters were not in touch with ground realities.'What's happening in Delhi is a lot like Egypt or elsewhere, where there's something called the pink revolution, which has very little connection with ground realities,' he reportedly said.
'In India, staging candle-march protests, going to discotheques. I know every well what kind of character students should have. Those who claim to be students - I can see many beautiful women among them - highly dented-painted. I have grave doubts whether they're students, because women of that age are generally not students,' Mukherjee said.
Translated version of Abhijit Mukherjee, Member of Parliament (and son of the President of India), statement on a Bangla TV channel:
'What's basically happening in Delhi is a lot like Egypt or elsewhere, where there's something called the spring revolution, which has very little connection with ground realities. In India, staging candle marches, going to discotheques - we did all this during our student life too, we were students too - I know every well what kind of character students should have. Those who claim to be students - I can see many beautiful women among them - highly dented-painted - they're giving interviews on TV, they've brought their children to show them the scenes. I have grave doubts whether they're students, because women of that age are generally not students.'
However, Mukherjee, who is Congress's sitting MP from Jangipur, on Thursday said that he was being misquoted and also apologised saying he didn't want to hurt anyone's sentiment.
