He posted multiple videos on Instagram crying victimhood. But now he deleted all these videos and giving lecture on morality and ethics. Last night he posted multiple videos disclosing the identity of the woman and publicly defamed her and now he is blaming the menist pages for blowing this out of proportion. We like to remind everyone that Male feminist and SIMPs are the ones who abuse, harass and exploit women the most."

Dear @KapilSibal is this the standard of the Advocates of the Supreme Court of India?"
