The students protests in New Delhi while gradually calming down, Abijith Mukharji, son President of India Pranab Mukharji has stirred controversy with his statements against women who participate protest.

In an interview given to a private TV Channel, he said “I don’t think all those who participate in the protests are real students and probably it may be the handy work of some opposition parties. Being one time student, I know how the students behave and how they react to this kind of problems. Nowadays, it becomes a fashion to hit the streets conducting candle marches and so on. Some women with dent and paint were seen speaking to TV channels, whom I think were chasing for two-minute fame. I don’t think they are really students. Their age factor also doesn’t match a college student outfit.”

Mukharji despite being the son of President of India, is also a responsible Congress MP, who represents Jangipur constituency in West Bengal. Hence, his rude remarks leave one and all in deep shock.

Here is his statement in his own words. "I would term the protests in Delhi as what is popularly known as Pink Revolution. It is becoming fashionable to land up on the streets with candle in hand. Such people are completely disconnected from reality. They go to discotheques. I am very well versed with student activism and I can bet on it that most of the protesters are not students. They are dented and painted women chasing two minutes on fame, giving interviews on TV. The protesters do not fall in the age group of students."

Obviously, his insolent remarks made against them fumes the students brings them back on to Delhi streets demanding an unconditional apology from him. Abijith, immediately withdrew his words and apologized the students. His sister, Sharmishtha Mukherjee shocked to hear her brother’s remarks has said his statement doesn’t reflect their family values. She apologized on behalf of her brother.
