Indian woman wrestlers Babita Phogat and Geeta Phogat joined the likes of former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag and wrestler Yogeshwar Dutt as they came down heavily on Gurmehar Kaur.
“Gurmehar Kaur's view that her father was killed by war and not Pakistan was unacceptable for me. It's against our nation and martyrs,” said Babita Phogat in New Delhi.
Her elder sister Geeta Phogat echoed Babita’s views, saying: "If you speak against the nation, people will obviously not like it. Irrespective of gender, the person won't be spared.”
Gurmehar Kaur, daughter of Kargil martyr Captain Mandeep Singh, alleged rape threats over her social media campaign on Tuesday and has withdrawn the campaign.
