Gurmehar Kaur - New Found Trapped Mascot of Left Liberals
Have you gone through the message by Gurmehar Kaur displayed through various cards? The entire message is published above – Link for her original video is THIS
The video was posted by her in April 2016. Actually I had seen it around April 2016 itself and was very much impressed by the video. This video launch is a #ProfileForPeace campaign advocating peace between India and Pakistan and her mother had supported her in her campaign stating that her daughter’s message in the video should be seen in a larger perspective and her message is simply – war always brings destruction and situations only make people kill each other during a war and hence peace is the answer.
Her
father, Mandeep
Singh, was one of the seven personnel killed after a Rashtriya
Rifle camp was attacked by militants in Jammu and Kashmir in 1999.
But, in her display, she had wrongly attributed that her father was martyred in
Kargil war.
Gurmehar Kaur is still an Indian student studying English
Literature at Lady Shri Ram College for Women, Delhi University. She is also
the ambassador for Postcards for Peace, a charitable organisation that helps
eliminate any form of discrimination.
Gurmehar Kaur came to news as she was a part of
the ‘Save DU campaign’ following the clashes in Ramjas College last week where activists of the
ABVP allegedly clashed with students, where JNU students Umar Khalid and Shehla
Rashid were invited for a seminar.
Unfortunately, she was actively
associated with Leftists Students Organisations and Aam Aadhmi
Party – vide photos published here. There is no issue in these – but, she is
hell bent to deny them and like to portray herself as apolitical. And again she had dissociated with her own
campaign trail - # StudentsAgainstABVP, the reasons adduced by her are not convincing, but, rather confusing.
Our humble advice to her is this:
Complete your study and then decide your course. Freedom to Learn/Teach is the
common cause for all students and Freedom of Speech other
issues
can wait. Think about the future of your own students affected by your action
and pray that good sense will prevail on you.
