Rights body flags judge's egg attack remark on Mahua Moitra

““During the hearing, as reported widely in both print and electronic media, an analogy was drawn regarding how the freedom fighters were treated. We do know how they were humiliated, degraded, cruelly treated, tortured to death and shot dead, executed by the colonial state... Here, in the instant case, an organised group of people with visible political inclination... launched a violent attack throwing eggs and other items simply because the petitioner belongs to the Opposition.””

““…as a woman in public life, she deserves specific safeguards against such planned aggressive masculine attacks. Disappointingly, the courts appeared to show acute insensitivity by not paying heed to her legitimate prayer; after hearing these oral hostile observations unexpectedly, the petitioner has had no other alternative but to withdraw her plea for remedy.””
