President Pranab Mukjherjee's son Congress MP from Jangipur steps into a land mine. He says Trinamool Congress MP Tapas Pal should be forgiven.   Mukherjee says it's a controversial issue and discussions on it should be avoided. "Mistakes are bound to happen and the issue should not be dragged further," says Mukherjee.

Mukherjee, if you recollect, had stoked a major controversy by describing women participating in Delhi protests against the gang rape of Nirbhaya, as 'highly dented and painted', triggering angry backlash.

Abhijit had said, "Walking in candlelight processions, going to discotheques, we have also led student life, we have been students. I well know what the character of a student should be."

"Those who are coming in the name of students in the rallies, sundori, sundori mahila (beautiful women), are highly dented and painted," Abhijit Mukherjee, an MP from Jangipur seat which the President had vacated before his election, told a vernacular news channel.
