MUMBAI: The identity of the angry woman who confronted minister Girish Mahajan over a traffic jam during the reservation agitation on April 21 was revealed on Saturday. Worli resident Teena Choudhary released a statement on social media.She said she wanted to pick up her daughter from music class when her car got held up for an hour and half. “I met every policeman but nobody responded. I threw the plastic bottle on the ground, not at any person. My grandfather served in the Indian army. My father served in the army and fought two wars for this country. In uniform you are in service. It does not give you the licence to be disrespectful or intimidating.”“Mahajan was the only one who was willing to listen … . On his instructions the parked buses were moved and we could leave.” Choudhary urged political parties to not fire over her shoulder at rivals, saying they were all equally guilty of the same offence — “utter disregard and absolute apathy for the general public”.“A lot of you (public) said you want me to be your voice in such a situation. Why? Why should I be your voice? You have a voice,” she said.
