Sr Adv Mukul Rohatgi: this is a plea by a tv anchor. this particular debate which happened..anchor said nothing. debate was about gyanvapi mosque and suddenly one said something and then another retorted. Ms Kumar doused the fire

Rohatgi: the lady who said something is facing flak from several FIRs. Now i have not said anything but now i face five or six FIRs in Kolkata alone. In TT Antony case says if there is one offence and several FIRs then only the first FIR has to be probed. here first FIR is delhi
Rohatgi: Delhi police has granted the anchor security as well. there is a rush of FIRs against me. It is a little unnerving milords
