Sehwag replies to Kargil martyr’s daughter's anti-ABVP post

New Delhi, Feb 27: Virender Sehwag was notorious for letting his bat do the talking on the field of play with unorthodox style of play and massive hitting even in Test matches. And ever since retiring from the cricket field, Sehwag has taken over the role of being a commentator, a cricket expert, and a social media — specifically Twitter — star. His opinion draws attention from various spheres with the ‘Nawab of Najafgarh’ tweeting his opinion on variety of topics. His tweeting style veers on the witty kind with incredible style of extending birthday wishes and engaging in banter with the likes of Piers Morgan after India’s disappointing show at the Olympics.

On Sunday night, Viru shared his own version of the placard wielding pictures post the Ramjas College violence. The placard read, “I didn’t score two triple centuries, my bat did”, along with the message, “Bat me hai Dum ! #BharatJaisiJagahNahi”.

This comes after violence on the Ramjas College campus when students and teachers clashed with Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) members after the latter disrupted a session of the two-day seminar on Bastar over the participation of Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) students, Umar Khalid and Shehla Rashid.

Days after this incident, Gurmehar Kaur – daughter of Kargil martyr Captain Mandeep Singh – changed her Facebook profile picture to one with her holding a placard that says, “I AM A STUDENT OF DELHI UNIVERSITY. I AM NOT AFRAID OF ABVP. I AM NOT ALONE. EVERY STUDENT OF INDIA IS WITH ME. #FIGHTBACKDU #STUDENTSAGAINSTABVP”. A year back, she had also participated in a video in which she held up yet another controversial card that said, “Pakistan did not kill my dad, war killed him”.

While Sehwag’s tweet did not refer to the Ramjas violence, ABVP or Kaur directly, it is believed that it was in response to her stance on the issue.

Twitterati had a mixed response to Sehwag and Hooda being critical of Kaur and inciting further internet abuse her way.

You Stalinist dictators doesn't allow Freedom of Expression to others in WB and Kerala and kill the opponents. You were against Baba Ramdev in JNU and Sub Swamy in DU. If you want so much peace why don't you preach your mosquitoes in Bastar who wants Azadi by Guns and Jihadist in Kashmir who did genocide of Pandits.
Lefty goondas are now being paid in the same coin. AS YOU SOW SO SHALL YOU REAP

Viru should confine himself to what he knows best & not take sides with politicians. He is a simple minded person who doesn't know the crookedness of political goons occupying position of power. Don't allow yourself to be used by these hooligans and repent later as a disillusioned being

Bengaluru, Mar 25: Former Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Wednesday targetted Centre over surge in coronavirus cases in the country, alleging that the government has miserably failed in tackling the unprecedented situation and was still not managing the crisis well.
"The government has miserably failed in tackling this very serious disease. They are not properly managing the crisis," senior Congress leader Siddaramaiah told ANI.
Siddaramaiah's response comes a day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced a 21-day lockdown in the entire country to deal with the spread of coronavirus, saying that "social distancing" is the only option to deal with the disease, which spreads rapidly.
In a televised address to the nation, Prime Minister Modi said that it is vital to break the chain of the disease and experts have said that at least 21 days are needed for it.
The Prime Minister said the lockdown has drawn a "Lakshman Rekha" in every home and people should stay indoors for their own protection and for that of their families.
Noting that the Centre has on Tuesday allocated Rs 15,000 crore for the treatment of coronavirus patients and to strengthen health infrastructure, he said testing facilities, personal protective equipment, isolation beds, ICU beds, ventilators and other necessary materials will be ramped up.
The Prime Minister said the country will have to bear the economic cost of lockdown but saving the life of every citizen is his priority and the priority of the Central and state governments as also of local administrations.
Noting that the virus spreads like fire, he said that if care is not taken for 21 days, the country, a family can go behind by 21 years.
According to the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), India has reported about 536 individuals have been confirmed positive among suspected cases and contacts of known positive cases. A total of 22,694 samples from March 24 till 8 pm.
Ten people have died so far due to the deadly virus, according to the data by Union health ministry.
