Bollywood lyricist and poet Javed Akhtar on Tuesday hit out at cricketer Virender Sehwag and wrestler Yogeshwar Dutt for trolling Gurmehar Kaur, a Delhi University student who launched a social media campaign against the ABVP.

Akhtar tweeted: "If a hardly literate player or a wrestler troll a pacifist daughter of a martyr its understandable but whats wrong with some educated folks."


Sehwag referred to an old image of Gurmehar, in which she holds a placard saying: Pakistan did not kill my dad, war did. Sehwag, posted an image of him holding a placard, which read: I didnt two score triple centuries, my bat did.
