Gurmehar Kaur, daughter of Kargil Martyr Mandeep Singh, who recently started a campaign #StudentsAgainstCorruption, was thrust into the limelight, after politicians and celebrities alike, attacked her for her “anti-national” stance.
From Union Minister Kiren Rijiju to Haryana Sports Minister Anil Vij, many have criticised her and called her campaign politically motivated. However, the 20-year-old speaking to The Hindustan Times on Thursday, said, “she was saddened” that the issue had gained a political hue.”
Elaborating on her stance, Gurmehar said:
Comparing herself to a “lion who roars only once”, Gurmehar said she wants to say nothing more to the ABVP.
Her mother, Rajvinder Kaur, also asked the press to refrain from asking questions that will “disturb” Gurmehar.
