Dr Ranjana Kumari, director of the Centre for Social Research reacting to Abhijeet Mukherjee's remarks on 'dented, painted' women protestors says, "His comments are similar to the remarks made by a road-side paan vendor. It's lewd, it's disgusting.

Outrage on Twitter:
Shashi Shekhar: This Abhijit Mukherjee is unfit to hold public office. It is a reflection on the casual manner in which the Congress perpetuates dynasties.

Overrated Outcast: Abhijit Mukherjee might have been a student once upon a time but it doesn't seem like he got an education.

Madhu Menon: Damn you, non-student women with makeup, who are you to protest? - Abhijit Mukherjee, President's son (paraphrased)
