Asked why she did not interrupt Mirge's speech when she was seated right next to her, Sule said,” The manners that I have learnt from my parents as a child is that if somebody is making a speech, one should not interrupt. Once she had completed what she had to say, I made my intervention.
“She is older than me; she is my mother's age. She was speaking what she felt was apppropriate. I wanted for her to finish her speech and then I made my intervention which is on record which can be verified. Many TV channels were present there,” she said.
