We’re living in a generation where Nationalism and Anti-Nationalism have become the taglines implicating the opinions. It has been a year and the Cargill martyr Mandeep Singh’s daughter Gurmeher Kaur’s video on the interrelations between Pakistan and India is still making rounds on the Internet.

Collecting the popular opinions, the former cricketer Virender Sehwag took on to his Twitter mocking the 20-year-old girl. Popular wrestler Yogeshwar Dutt, Geeta Phogat and actor Randeep Hooda backed Sehwag’s opinion on the issue.

And here’s a turnover in this topic as the Kolkata Knight Riders skipper Gautam Gambhir has become the first ever sportsperson to back Gurmeher. He boldly made a video entitled hashtag #GautiSpeaks and shared it on social media through his Twitter handle.

The freedom of expression is absolute and equal for all!
High time we learnt that and practised it daily in every sphere of life. pic.twitter.com/iMfIanQyh1

The video depicts the necessity of respecting opinions and freedom of speech. Gautam straightforwardly mocked the right wings’ opinion and criticised them for their narrow-mindedness in mocking the young girl.

Along with the video, the tweet reads: “The freedom of expression is absolute and equal for all. High time we learnt that and practised it daily in every sphere of life.”

On the other hand, Gurmeher’s video is subjecting the promotion of peace and integrity between Pakistan and India. In one of the play cards, she mentioned: “Pakistan did not kill my father, the war did.”

And the above statement roped in wide controversies from throughout the country. She even received rape threats and physical harm. However, the trolls from Sehwag and other eminent people is quite off the grid, as the subject is very serious.

What Sehwag tweeted:

Gambhir condemned these mocking tweets and mentioned that this kind of threats on a 20-year-old girl is quite disappointing.
