Anyone Who Threatens Gurmehar Kaur Rape Is At The Lowest Form Of Life: Virender Sehwag

IANS, 01 Mar, 2017 12:45 PM
    After facing criticism over his tweet, Virender Sehwag responded to the controversy of “trolling” Gurmehar Kaur, saying his tweet was not a case of agreeement or disagreement with anyone and everyone have a right to express their opinion.
     
    “My tweet was attempt to be facetious rather than one to bully anyone over their opinion. Agreement or disagreement wasn’t even factor,” he said.
     
    He also said that anyone who threatens her with rape is at the lowest form of his life and she has the right to express her views.
     
    After the controversy broke out, Twitterati had accused Gurmerhar for “speaking against the nation” by asking for peace with Pakistan. Even sportsperson like Yogeshwar Dutt, Babita and Geeta Phogat had tweeted about putting nation above self.
     
    Sehwag said everyone have the right to express their views be it Gurmehar or Phogat sisters.
     
    “Everyone has a right to express their views without being bullied or threatened. Gurmehar or the Phogat sisters,” he said.
     
    Sehwag had tweet after a old video of the Gurmehar, who had started a campaign to protest against voilence by ABVP in Delhi Univeristy, had resurfaced with her holding a palcard reading “Pakistan did not kill my father, war did.”
     
    Sehwag had tweeted a photo of his with a palcard reading “I did not score two triple centuries, my bat did.”
