Speaking to the media about the assault, she said she has no sympathy for the abuser and the law should take its full course.

“The law should take the strictest of actions and make him pay for the deed he has done. No one has any right to raise hands on any individual. It is the fundamental right to life. If he is let off then many incidents like these will surface across the nation. The fact that he dared to take such an action reflects on the lenient laws that exist in this democracy. No woman can feel safe as long as people like him are roaming around freely.”

On religion, fashion and the assault, she said, “It is not about Islam or about small clothes. It’s about small thinking and mentality of people who look down upon women as slaves and objectify them. If you have an objection on my clothing sense, you can write to me, talk to me; but you certainly cannot hit me. There are avenues for everyone to express their views but one cannot trespass personal space and get violent.”
