Amazing,, just amazing.. . I just saw the video. I had not seen it earlier.

The interviewer comes across as a really dumb person. When Ram j is giving the reasons, but still she continues to ask – why are you defending Manu Sharma.

It seemed to me that she was actually trying to provoke Ram J and not really trying to understand what he was saying. Note how Ram J was cool and calm in the beginning but the interviewer dumbly kept asking the same question again and again inspite of getting the answer thrice.

Omigod….. the level to which TV news channels have stooped to.

I wonder why CNN even agreed to tie up with dumb Rajdeep and his channel. Dont they have some standards to live up to? I guess its not CNN, the American news channel, its some other CNN (like Cartoon news network, or Crappy news network). The real CNN should be suing IBN for such cheap lifting of brand logos.

But Jyo, commenting on this post now? Quite late, this one was in NOvember.

May I suggest that a maverick lawyer is least of troubles of Indian law system.
Ram Jethmalani ticking off a journalist is similar to a monkey fighting with a ill tempered mongrel.
Ironical at so many levels.

We can’t blame some body like this. Talent need not to be clubbed with so called “GOODNESS”. Both are far different and that’s where the dance of life comes in.

Note that there is an element of chavinism in how media/public treated the Mattoo vs. Lall case. Mattoo is perceived as a virtuous woman. After all, Lall was just a bar girl!

Yeah, the interview was most amusing. I mean, okay, Jethmalani was raving and ranting but Sagarika Ghosh was acting like a fool too. Good he ticked her off.

Ferrari,

That too. But remember human rights groups are only concerned about terror suspects. Rest maybe hannged, they don’t care.

Sakshi,

The key question is this: How do you know Manu Sharma is guilty according to the legal standards of this country? And yes, someone has to defend them too. Otherwise, this country will become a banana republic where people will be hanged without a fair trial.

Okay, tell me, if someone else had defended Manu Sharma, you would have made the same argument?

Patrix,

Can’t figure it out bro, I mean now according to Crpc, even victim lawyers can help the prosecution. Reminds me, a fisking is due on the other blog. Time!

You call his act “courage” !!! I thought it was believed that the ones who “support” a crime…the ones who “witness” a crime…and the ones who “encourage” crimes…are equally guilty as the criminal who has committed the crime in the first place.

It’s NOT about my anger towards Manu Sharma…I am all certain that he will be put behind bars…no matter how loudly or the number of times Mr. Jethmalani spews his anger on the media.

The point here is that…Jethmalani has always used his status…acheivement…intelligence (whatever!!!) to support the ones who are infact criminals. What sort of a standard is he setting for the future generation..???

And above all…he is so proudly displaying that his services are avaliable for even the guilty ones…as long as they are well connected or are sitting on buckets loads ofg moolah. The point here is that we keep blaming the law per se…but what do you when suckers like Jethmalani so openly sell it around as if she is their private whore.

Once again….there is nothing ROCKING about his decision or approach…just shows how low so-called intelligent men can stoop for their self-interested agenda.

But then again…its each to its own.
