The CIA’s alleged funding of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in order to “implement the object and the policy of the American government” through Arvind Kejriwal and company, was one of the wrongs Sharma set out to correct through one of his PILs.

It’s clear that Sharma pretty much hates advocate Prashant Bhushan for “Xeroxing” his petition against the coal scam, according to Sharma, then making minor changes and manipulating the registry to file his own petition before Sharma’s. “People who play dirty tricks like these do it for credit,” he said.

Some more of Sharma’s views, loosely translated from Hindi:

On heinous crimes: Copying another advocate’s petition, and then through politics or through managing channels telling everyone that the petition was his idea is worse than a heinous crime. Taking credit for another’s work is a nuisance and this has become a trend in the Supreme Court these days.

On rape accused: you cannot penetrate without being excited. If you can’t do that how can you go for sex, and how can you go for rape? So first step is excitement. And a man will be excited when he gets the “atmosphere”. And whether he gets an atmosphere or not depends on the circumstances in which he is. Will you be able to do it? Tell me. This has nothing to do with whether you are married or not. Go watch a “porn movie” today you’ll get to know.

On rape victims: Simple analogy. If you have a bread or sweetmeat and you put it outside your house can you tell me what will happen? Neighbourhood dogs will come eat it and go. Not a piece would be left for you. If you keep that box protected in the fridge the dogs won’t get a chance.

It is the responsibility of every woman to keep herself protected. If she puts herself in an unprotected situation she is to blame. Why don’t you guys tell people that your protection is in your own hands? Whether you are homeless or have a home your protection is in your own hands. You create circumstances for rape on your own and when something happens to you you become innocent. Mis-happenings happen because of you.

On rape in society: To end rape first thing will be to end the dirty atmosphere that has been created. Sexual atmosphere should be stopped. Any sexual pose should not be allowed because a sexual pose create a sexual affect in the mind of any person. With clothes or without clothes. [The media] puts sexual effects in the mind of innocent boys to make money, and provoke people, then say that we are doing nothing.

On “Kanya”: In India “virgin” is a swear word. It is a western word. Our girls are only “kanya”.
