Twitter users slam Ram Jethmalani over remarks in Asaram Case

Veteran Lawyer and Former Minister Ram JethMalani earned flaks from Twitter users who criticized his remarks on the Victim in the Alleged Rape Case against Asaram Bapu.

Media Reports suggested that Jethmalani, while arguing for Asaram’s Bail in Jodhpur Bench of Jaipur High Court, mentioned that the girl (victim) was afflicted with a chronic disease, which draws a woman to a man, and said this was subject to police investigation.

Within hours after this news came, Twitter users started criticizing his Controversial Statement. We handpicked few tweets at the time displaying the wrath of Twitteritti.

@taslimanasreen : ‘Girl has ‘disease’ that draws her to men.’ Then men raped her to cure the disease?

@PritishNandy : Ram Jethmalani has truly mastered the art of defending the indefensible.

@IamApoorvSharma : Since Asaram has hired Ram Jethmalani,the victim should also hire K.D.from Adalat as like Ram Jethmalani,KD bhi aajtak koi case nahin haara!

@anurag_singhal8 : What Ram Jethmalani trying to say was Asaram Ram bapu uses Zatak deo

@Sinha_Mukul : Jethmalani’s allegation against Asaram’s victim that she has a mental condition making her desire men, amounts to offence u/s 354A(III) IPC.

@Vyangkaar : What did Assaram say to Jail inmates? “Ab to Ram hi Raakhe” #uttaran. Jethmalani heard it.

 

But there were also those who criticized JethMalani bashers.

@MsWeera  : Did u notice? Lawyers on twitter who stood in solidarity with Ishrat are the ones tweeting against Jethmalani?

@reviewero : Yet again, it seems newswallah kirana stores have mislead people on Jethmalani..he did not say what they attribute to him

@MereDivyaBapuji : Before putting up news #paidmedia don’t even think what effect it will have on an innocent person-Ram Jethmalani on Pujya #Asaram Bapu case
