Usha Ramanathan is an
Indian Left leaning activist. She is known for her vitriolic speeches against
Right Wingers of India.
Recently, she was
spotted with former IAS officer Harsh Mandar at a rally outside JNU. She was
standing beside Mandar when he was goading youngsters to be on the road and don’t
trust the Supreme Court of India and the Parliament of India.
It is quite interesting
to note that Harsh Mandar had filed a petition in the High Court of Delhi
against Kapil Mishra and few other BJP leaders. The HC Judge Muralidhar had
made strong comments against Delhi Police and had asked them to file FIR against
these leaders. Filing FIR and arresting these leaders could have made the
situation even worse.
In this entire drama,
the most interesting part is the relationship of Usha Ramanathan with that of
Justice Muralidhar.
Usha Ramanathan is the
wife of Justice Muralidhar. And, the justice was hearing an application filed
by Harsh Mandar. Further, Harsh Mandar is saying the same thing that Kapil
Mishra had said for which the judge had asked police to file FIR.
Connecting these dots,
it becomes a very interesting case. Ideally, Justice Muralidhar should have
recuses himself from hearing the case. But, he had gone few steps ahead.
This is a clear case of
conflict of interest.
