People supporting #GurmeharKaur blaming war for her #Kargilmartyr father are Pro #Pakistan should be throughnout of #India.

Speaking with the media in Ambala, Vij said: “I don’t even want to take Gurmehar Kaur’s name. She has been doing politics on the martyrdom of her father and has given a clean chit to Pakistan, which has been fighting with India directly and indirectly from a long time. And the people who are supporting her are pro-Pakistani. They should be thrown out of this country.”
