According to the sources, Kaur even received rape threats from various people. This 20-year-old daughter of a martyred Indian Army Captain was in the eye of the storm following her poster campaign on social media which demands an end to violence on campuses, allegedly by ABVP.
After a lot of ups and downs, she finally took on to her facebook account and posted:
“I’m withdrawing from the campaign. Congratulations everyone. I request to be left alone. I said what I had to say. I have been through a lot and this is all my 20-year self could take :)”

However, following the threats from various groups, she approached the Delhi Commission for Women. The DCW then urged the Delhi Police to take Suo-moto action and arrest the related people.
Meanwhile, on Monday, multiple Cabinet Ministers like Kiren Rijiju cornered Kaur questioning who was ‘polluting’ her mind, to which she responded saying:
“I have my own mind, nobody is polluting my mind. I am not anti-national.”
On the other hand, Ravi Shankar Prasad, the Union Law, and Communications Minister condemned the intimidation stating “Any kind of intimidation of this young girl is wrong and will be dealt with strongly.”
He then added: “Everyone has got the right of freedom of speech and expression. Violence is not permissible at all. But the country also needs to reflect that those who openly talk of breaking India, demanding that Kashmir should be given Independence and Bastar should be made independent, do they have the right to campaign for breaking of India under cover of freedom of speech? But violence has no place at all.”
