Twitter Goes Berserk On Virender Sehwag Response to JNU Brigade in their own way

Days after DU’s Ramjas college saw violent clashes, a Lady Sri Ram College student who is a Kargil martyr’s daughter has initiated a social media campaign, “I am not scared of ABVP”, which has gone viral. Gurmehar Kaur, daughter of Kargil martyr Captain Mandeep Singh, 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”.



“The brutal attack on innocent students by ABVP is very disturbing and should be stopped. It was not an attack on protesters, but an attack on every notion of democracy that is held dear in every Indian’s heart. It is an attack on ideals, morals, freedom and rights of every person born to this nation,” she said in a Facebook status. “The stones that you pelt hit our bodies, but fail to bruise our ideas. This profile picture is my way of protesting against the tyranny of fear,” she added.

The literature student’s classmates and peers started sharing the post, prompting students from various universities across the country to change their profile pictures with the same placard, as the initiative went viral. Kaur’s Facebook post so far has 2,100 reactions, 3,456 shares and 542 comments.

Kaur, in one of her earlier videos which had gone viral in May, had posted: “Pakistan did not kill my dad, war killed him.”

This led to a huge social media reaction, and even former cricketer Virender Sehwag joined the fray saying: “Bat me hai Dum! #BharatJaisiJagahNahi.” Sehwag’s reply leaves no one in any doubt which side of the debate he is on.

Sehwag response got huge response and in just one hour it has crossed 4500 RT and 5000 likes and 800 replies and it is still going.



Tweeples thanked Virender Sehwag for his stand against anti nationals and JNU brigade.

Here are few reactions:

There are some clues as well that Martyr’s daughter is being used by AAP to create hate environment against RSS and ABVP and to use it politically in coming days. Here is the article as well exposing same.
