I have been through a lot and this is all my 20 year self could take 🙂

I’m withdrawing from the campaign. Congratulations everyone. I request to be left alone. I said what I had to say.. (1/2)

The campaign is about students and not about me. Please go to the March in huge numbers. Best of luck.

Gurmehar was given police protection yesterday after she was trolled with tweets threatening rape over her Facebook post against Akhil Bhartiya Vidyarthi Parishad.

She was also targeted for a video posted last year in which she appealed for peace between India and Pakistan through a placard message that reads, “ Pakistan Did not kill my dad, War killed him.”
Among those who appeared to counter Ms Kaur with the tweets were, Union Miniter Kiren Rijiju,

Who’s polluting this young girl’s mind? A strong Arm Force prevents a war. India never attacked anyone but a weak India was always invaded. https://t.co/gXHkAGi9sh
