Fiji Labour Party Leader Mahendra Chaudhry will not make any comments on Rajendra Chaudhry’s facebook comments over the past few weeks. Mahendra Chaudhry’s son Rajendra, who is now staying in Australia after being suspended from legal practice until 2017, has been attacking the selection of some proposed FLP candidates. Rajendra Chaudhry has now put up an image of a person who he claims is a FLP candidate, saying that the FLP leadership was informed of such issues before his endorsement. When Fijivillage questioned Mahendra Chaudhry on his son’s comments, he said that he is not a member of the Fiji Labour Party and the FLP will not comment on facebook comments.

"The complainant was a 14 year old school girl at the time of the incident. She was one of 18 students in a classroom sitting an examination. The appellant was supervising the examination. The complainant was sitting at a desk in the front row. She said that the appellant came and stood beside her on her left. She looked up and the appellant touched her breast with his left hand. She sat up and the accused slid his left hand down her stomach and right to her private part. He then rubbed her private part. He denied touching her breast or private parts. However, the actions of the appellant as described by the complainant in her evidence were something that would not necessarily have created attention. The other pupils in the room were writing their examination papers. The Appellant was standing alongside the complainant in the front row and such conduct would be expected to have been done as surreptitiously as possible...The learned Magistrate made a clear finding that he accepted the evidence of the complainant as truthful. An appellant Court would need very compelling and cogent reasons to interfere with that finding. There are no grounds to do so in this case...The appeal against conviction is dismissed" Justice Pain, Fiji High Court, September 1997;Bolatiki v State [1997] FJHC 124; HAA0035D.1997S (3 September 1997)
