Arvind Kejriwal come out in support of DU girl Gurmehar Kaur

February 27, 2017 23:16

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal endorsed Gurmehar's stand against the ABVP and violence on the campus. He also attacked the BJP and said it had now become a party of "hooligans" and "criminals".

Sharing a video of Kaur speaking about the rape threats she received, Kejriwal tweeted, "Just listen to this. This is BJP. They will destroy our country. Everyone must rise against their goondaism."

"Threatening our daughters and sisters with rape, is this the BJP's patriotism? Shame on these people," he added.

Last week, following the incidents of violence and clashes between student groups ABVP and AISA at Ramjas College, Gurmehar posted an image of herself with a placard reading, "I am not afraid of ABVP. I am not alone. Every student of India is with me. #StudentsAgainstABVP."
