Amid the ongoing stir over the Ramjas violence incident, the Union Minister of States Kiren Rijiju has stood by his comments on Gurmehar Kaur despite being criticised. The Union Minister said, “Gurmehar Kaur is a young girl, creating controversy over her is not right. It’s about Leftists who celebrate when our jawans die.”

Gurmehar Kaur has created a massive stir as she came out to speak against Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad in the wake of the violence at Ramjas college of Delhi University. Gurmehar has alleged that she was threatened with rape after her social media campaign against the ABVP went viral.

Everyone has right of views but she said Pakistan didn’t kill our brave martyr & India should shun war. India never perpetrated violence! https://t.co/2b8SHLdPRg
