New Delhi, Feb 28: Even as Gurmehar Kaur a student at Lady Shri Ram College announced her withdrawal from the anti-ABVP campaign, on Tuesday she got the unequivocal support of her teachers. "We unequivocally and strongly support our student Gurmehar Kaur and her right to express her opinion on issues that embroil our university," faculty members of the English Department said that "It is immensely gratifying to us as her teachers that she has responded sensitively, creatively and bravely to events in her immediate context rather than seek the safe refuge of silence.

"The threats of violence and brutality that she faces are absolutely reprehensible. "Responses on social media by public figures such as Sehwag and Hooda are shameful trivialization of the intimidation Gurmehar faces at the hands of violent mobs whose viciousness the university has recently witnessed," the statement said. The teachers appealed to everyone to let young Indians to think and articulate their views without fear of intimidation. Meanwhile, wrestler Yogeshwat Dutt took to Twitter and comapred Kaur to Hitler, Osama Bin Laden and a Black Buck of the Salman Khan's black buck case.
