Retired Supreme Court Justice and former Press Council Chairperson Markandey Katju pummeled on social media on Friday after he tweeted that Shazia Ilmi was much more beautiful than Kiran Bedi.
Katju regards Ilmi more beautiful than party’s chief ministerial candidate Kiran Bedi and had she been the BJP’s CM face, the party would without doubt have won the Delhi elections.
“I regard Shazia Ilmi much more beautiful than Kiran Bedi. If Shazia had been made their C.M. candidate BJP wud have definitely won the Delhi,” tweeted Katju.
When he drew criticism from the social media for his sexiest remark, he defended his comment by saying:
“What is wrong with some of you people? Can’t an old man like me admire a beautiful woman? By admiring a beautiful flower I am not plucking it, and by admiring a beautiful garden from a distance I am not tresspassing onto it. Similarly, if I admire a beautiful woman I am not misbehaving with her, or taking liberties with her.”
