Jalandhar, March 4

A day after Delhi University student Gurmehar Kaur was trolled again, this time over a video wherein a girl resembling her was seen singing and dancing in a car, her mother today reacted sharply.

“It is unfortunate that the people who have been trolling Gurmehar are indulging in mischievous acts. They even used an old video of a girl having a slight resemblance with Gurmehar to troll her again. God will not spare such acts of wrongdoers,” Rajwinder Kaur said.

Though Gurmehar refused to talk to the media, she tweeted: “The girl in the car wasn’t me. But whether she was or she wasn’t, was it okay to shame her like that?”

Rajwinder Kaur said: “It is clear to everyone that the girl is not Gurmehar. The car is a left-hand drive vehicle, not prevalent in India. Still people have been posting all sorts of comments.”

A first-year student of Lady Shri Ram College, Gurmehar has been getting rape threats and was trolled for over a week after she dared the ABVP on social media following a clash at Delhi University.

Throw me out of India, Panjoli dares Vij

Fatehgarh Sahib: SGPC member and Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) leader Karnail Singh Panjoli on Saturday challenged Haryana Health Minister Anil Vij to get him thrown out of the country as he agreed with Gurmehar’s views.

Panjoli was reacting to the statement of Vij, who had stated that those supporting Gurmehar should be shunted out of the country.

He also urged Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar to dismiss the “mentally ill minister” from the Cabinet.

“India doesn’t belong to any political party as the Constitution guarantees freedom of speech to all citizens. Gurmehar is a citizen of the country and a martyr’s daughter. She has every right to express her feelings,”the Akali leader added. — TNS
