The court also said that Hussain was continuously acting in a matter of supervising and motivating the mob and all of this was done to target Hindus.

Justice Gita Gopi of the Gujarat High Court voices concern over how advocates treat poor litigants in the State and especially in Ahmedabad.

J Gopi: I am happy that now foreign lawyers are coming to India. At least they will treat litigants better.
