Literally, the internet is flooded with the whole DU girl and Twitter controversy. Still wondering what is it all about? Kawalpreet Kaur, a student at Delhi University had recently posted a photo where she was standing outside Jama Masjid with a placard. The message read ” I am a citizen of India and I stand with secular values of our constitution’‘.
But the placard was morphed and the morphed image was uploaded by Pakistan Defence’s verified Twitter account. The text was changed to ” I am an Indian but I hate India because India is a colonial entity that has occupied nations such as Nagas, Kashmiris, Manipuris, Hyderabad, Junagarh, Sikkim, Mizoram, Goa”.
The moment the tweet went live, ‘n’ number of Indians using twitter pointed out that the photo is morphed. Since Twitter received a lot of complaints, it suspended Pakistan Defence’s account.
On the other hand, Kawalpreet tweeted ” I request media to not communalize & sensationalize this issue to spell hatred against Pakistan. I really appreciate the concern but I want to state in clear terms that many of my Pakistani friends & people condemned the misuse of my morphed picture and reported it in large numbers.”
