New Delhi:
What BJP leader Vijay Jolly described as a protest at the home of journalist Shoma Chaudhury in Delhi was, in fact, a blatant act of harassment. On Twitter, he was assailed for defacing Ms Chaudhary's home, and graffiti-ing "Accused" on her name plate. Speaking to NDTV, he said he did not throw stones at Ms Chaudhury's home or disrupt traffic.
Here are the highlights: - We were there at the spot since 9 am. We never entered the property, we did not take the law and order in hand.
- We did not throw stones at her house, did not disrupt traffic.
- I have immense respect for Sushma Swaraj and Arun Jaitley. At an appropriate party forum, I will present my case.
- Not a question of hooliganism, why did the law enforcing agencies not protect the family of the girl which has been under immense pressure
- Question of standing by women's rights
- Perception might differ
- Shoma is a co-accused. This is my perception
- I was within my rights to protest - she has persistently taken the stand of supporting Tarun Tejpal
- Unfortunate that you can make Vijay Jolly the villain in this whole debate. Tarun Tejpal should be arrested
- I never physically attacked anyone. I reserve my right to peacefully protest
