MJ Akbar was the editor of the newspaper and being new, she could not decide whether she would refuse.

At that time Akbar was drunk and singing in a loud voice. The entire interview was done by he told his friend, Nilofer. Several eminent persons of the society were accused of sexual exploitation under the Mei Tu campaign.
