Need to respect freedom of expression: Vidya on Gurmehar Kaur

TIL Desk Bollywood/ Actress Vidya Balan says she does not want to add anything more to what is already happening with Delhi University student Gurmehar Kaur but feels one must respect others’ freedom of expression.

Lady Sri Ram College student Gurmehar Kaur, daughter of army martyr Captain Mandeep Singh, had launched a viral social media campaign against Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) following violence between members of unions AISA and ABVP workers in Delhi University’s Ramjas College.

Kaur, 20, withdrew from her social media campaign yesterday after allegedly receiving threats from the members of the RSS-backed outfit and getting trolled. When asked about what she feels regarding the issue, Vidya told reporters, “I don’t want to say much about this. I think what we really need to do is respect people’s freedom of expression. ‘He said something she said something’, all are right in their place. But I don’t want to add anything more, everyone has the right to express what they feel.”
