Acclaimed Hindu statesman Rajan Zed, in a statement in Nevada, United States of America, said that Czech Prime Minister Jan Fischer should offer formal apology as the misconduct in this case was very serious and just regret would not be sufficient to heal the deep wounds caused. Perpetrators should be prosecuted for the irreversible crimes against these women which permanently deprived them from having children.
 
Zed, who is the president of Universal Society of Hinduism, further said that neighbouring Slovakia also now needed to acknowledge this blunder and apologise on this issue. Czech Republic should make Roma upliftment her first priority as they were facing apartheid like conditions. Their maltreatment was a dark stain on the face of Czech Republic and Europe.

 
Rajan Zed argued that Roma people in Czech Republic reportedly faced violent attacks, stereotyping, racism, prejudice, growing gap between Roma and other Czechs, fear, beatings, poor quality housing, systemic employment and overall discrimination, persecution, throwing of Molotov cocktails, social exclusion, segregated schools, marginalisation; refused service at restaurants, stores, discos, etc; municipalities/towns failing to support them; and the state being unwilling or unable to offer protection.
 
Zed stressed that the country of Franz Kafka, Antonin Dvorak, Jaroslav Hasek, Karlovy Vary, and rich cultural heritage should not continue staying apathetic and silent spectator ignoring Roma apartheid.
 
References to Roma people in Europe, who are believed to have their roots in the Indian subcontinent, reportedly went as far back as ninth century AD.
