After Virendra Shehwag, wrestler Yogeshwar Dutt puts meme mocking Gurmehar Kaur's video post

New Delhi, Feb 28 (IBNS) : After Virender Sehwag and Randeep Hooda, Yogeshwar Dutt took to the social media, mocking at Gurmehar Kaur, the 20-year-old Delhi University student, whose video post on the death of his martyred army officer father created a stir.

Dutt's tweets in the form of a meme, was in reference to Kaur's placard holding clip which says, " Pakistan did not kill my dad, war killed him."

Dutt posted pictures of Adolf Hitler, Osama Bin Laden and a black buck, each with texts that read,  “Did not kill Jews, Gas did” (Hitler); “Did not kill people, Bombs did” (Bin Laden) and “Bhai (Salman Khan) did not kill me, bullets did” (black buck).

On Sunday, cricketer Virendra Shewag had tweeted, saying, “I didn’t score two triple centuries, my bat did”, along with the message, “Bat me hai Dum ! #BharatJaisiJagahNahi”.

All this came after violence on the Ramjas College campus where students  and teachers clashed with Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) members, who had disrupted a  two-day seminar over the participation of Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) students, Umar Khalid and Shehla Rashid.

The ABVP alleged that Khalid is "anti-national," and his participation in the seminar can not be accepted.

Days after the incident, Gurmehar launched her online campaign against ABVP which resulted in a political slugfest among rival political parties and earned her both kudos and criticism.

On Monday, Kaur approached the Delhi Women's Commission alleging she was being threatened with rape on social media for her campaign.

BJP leaders, including Union Ministers like Kiren Rijiju criticised Gurmehar, saying her mind is being polluted by some forces, while Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal stoutly defended her.

On Tuesday morning, Gurmehar announced through a series of tweets that she is pulling out of the protest march against campus violence to save the movement the like minded people have launched.
