06 Dec 2013 Evaluate

National Conference chief and Union Minister Farooq Abdullah apologised for his controversial comment against women that men were now scared to talk to women as they feared that they may end up in jail. BJP leader Smriti Irani responded by saying: 'It is a very demeaning comment by such a senior political leader.

He apologised saying that he did not mean to hurt sentiments and that his comments were misconstrued.

Farooq Abdullah had commented this, while he was reacting to the plight of former Supreme Court judge A K Ganguly, who is facing a sexual harassment case. The intern's allegations against Justice Ganguly created a media furor, with female lawyers and activists calling for the country's top court to investigate the incident.
