"I completely condemn Jolly's behaviour," Opposition Leader Sushma Swaraj said in a press conference.

"The party has nothing to do with this. He had mentioned it to me and Arunji, we had refused to go. Still he went ahead," she said.

Jolly led a protest outside Chaudhury's residence in Delhi to protest her complicity in the rape case involving editor-in chief Tarun Tejpal.

Jolly who first was content shouting slogans outside the journalist's house later used black paint to painstakingly paint on the name plate outside Chaudhury's residence.

When Chaudhury emerged from her house to leave for office he also attempted to block her and had to be restrained and taken away by the police.

Jolly, however, justified all his actions claiming that it was a natural spill over of the people's anger.

"The anger of people was bound to spill over," Jolly told CNN-IBN.

We were there demonstrating there since morning, he said.

Jolly even continued to defend the entire demonstration saying it was a peaceful demonstration and said that they hadn't damaged her car which proved they were not guilty of vandalism.
