Jalandhar: It has been a tough time for the family of Gurmehar Kaur in Jalandhar. Ever since the daughter of Capt Mandeep Singh uploaded a photograph holding a card reading: “I am not afraid of ABVP” on the social media three days ago, she has been allegedly receiving rape threats and hate messages. Gurmehar’s mother, a government employee, said, “Having lost her father at the age of two, Gurmehar is a very emotional girl. She cannot see incidents of violence, including the one at Ramjas College. My daughter is well-read and she tries to get to the basis of the facts. But I am upset with the way things went against her. Now, when things have reached to such a passé and there are rape threats, I am feeling insecure for her. I do not want this controversy to go on further. I just want all this to fade away.” Her younger sibling, who is preparing for her Class XII examination, also feels concerned. “Gul was here till Sunday afternoon after which she left for Delhi. She was stressed. She told me that she had chosen to ignore trollers, after initially giving some apt replies to those sending her hate messages,” she said. — Deepkamal Kaur
