Kargil martyr's daughter gets 'rape threats' for opposing ABVP


New Delhi, Feb 27 (PTI): The Delhi University student, whose social media campaign against ABVP recently went viral, today alleged to have received "rape threats".

Lady Sri Ram Ram College student Gurmehar Kaur, daughter of Kargil martyr Captain Mandeep Singh, said she has attracted a barrage of hate messages over her stand on the issue.

"I have been getting a lot of threats on social media. I think it is very scary when people threaten you with violence or with rape," she told NDTV.

Giving rape threats "in the name of nationalism" is not right, she added.

Her comments received widespread support including from Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.

"Just listen to this. THIS is BJP. They will destroy our country. Everyone must rise against their goondaism," he tweeted while sharing her statement.

After the North Campus clash, Kaur had changed her Facebook profile picture holding a placard which read "I am a student from Delhi University. I am not afraid of ABVP. I am not alone. Every student of India is with me. #StudentsAgainstABVP".

Delhi University's Ramjas College had on Wednesday witnessed large-scale violence between members of AISA and ABVP workers. The genesis of the clash was an invite to JNU students Umar Khalid and Shehla Rashid to address a seminar on 'Culture of Protests' which was withdrawn by the college authorities following opposition by the ABVP.

    How cheap are their threats?as cheap as they themselves.Do they think they will kill the girls aims or her plans?They know what she tells is true and want to somehow degrad it but not so.They should think something else,or stand to their work of killing her father.

    This is the result of the Govt. showing leniency and not taking stern action against the culprits. Students committing any criminal act or offence, be it shouting slogans or issuing threats should be suspended from the university and severely punished according to law. Such incidents never happened during our student days. Why are these happening now? Political parties should stop patronizing students’ unions. Otherwise the next generation of leaders could pose a serious threat to national integrity.

    All know this Umer Khalid & Shela Rashid they are the one who shouted the anti India slogan with useless Kanniyya kumar.-Mr.Rajesh,Manglore

    Sir,Nation has already saw the biased reporting of Z** TV and also knew that it is doctored videos. There are many unknown faces silently merged with the students protest and shouted anti India slogans. Delhi Police which falls under the central Home ministry is biased by targeting poor students who are seeking post graduation degrees.

    If this case is independently investigated all skeleton will fall from the closet.

    Here is her full message which she posted by writing on placards<
    She says her piece in 30 placards in English.

    "I have more memories of how it feels to not have a father," she shares.

    "I also remember how much I used to hate Pakistan and Pakistanis because they killed my dad."

    At 6, she writes, she tried to stab a woman in a Burkha - "because of some strange reason I thought she was responsible for my father's death."

    Gurmehar says her mother held her back and made her understand that it was not Pakistan, but the war that killed her dad.

    "Today, I'm a soldier just like my dad...I fight for peace between India and Pakistan."

    The message of her video is that she wants the "governments of both countries to stop pretending and solve the problem."

    "We cannot dream of becoming a first world country with third world leadership," the teenager comments.

    There's "enough state-sponsored terrorism, enough state sponsored spies, enough state sponsored hatred. Enough is enough".

    In a speech to the Rajya Sabha on February 2, Derek O’Brien of the Trinamool Congress accused Modi of encouraging online hatred and harassment through his choice of whom to follow. “Twenty-six Twitter handles that give out rape threats, communal threats, are followed by the prime minister of India,” O’Brien claimed, and two of those accounts, he said, had been suspended by Twitter administrators. “And these Twitter trolls…,” O’Brien added, referring to Modi’s reception for 150 social media influencers in 2015, “They are invited to the prime minister’s house for a nice social-media party.”

    Again, there is no reason to judge. This is just a bracing reminder of the diversity of attitudes within the BJP towards porn (not to mention favourite porn stars). What should give the prime minister pause are the other habits of people he favours on Twitter – their rape- and death-wishes, hate speech and incitement, extremism and blatant disinformation.

    Digital India should have zero tolerance for those caught in espionage or threatening the daughter of India.

    ABVP is trying hard to silence and attack those who are exercising their Freedom of Speech. It's evident that a few 'Sold' news channels too are a part of this dirty game by misinterpreting slogans and use it to foment trouble.
