If Afzal Guru a martyr, who was Hanamanthappa? asks Yogeshwar Dutt

February 16, 2016 10:17

Known for his performances in the 'akhada', ace Indian wrestler Yogeshwar Dutt took everyone by surprise as he posted a patriotic poem on Twitter.

The Olympic medalist took to Twitter to react to the controversy that erupted last week at Jawaharlal Nehru University over holding an event on the campus against the hanging of Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru. During the event, anti-India slogans were alleged to have been raised, while denouncing the hanging of Guru.

The star wrestler, in a detailed post, asked what kind of freedom of speech this is where people are disrespecting mother India. He added that if Afzal Guru was a martyr, what would people call Hanamanthappa?

Yogeshwar's post went viral in no time.
