Kanhaiya Kumar is a snake who is spitting venom against Indian soldiers: Yogeshwar Dutt

New Delhi: Indian wrestler Yogeshwar Dutt launched a veiled attack on Kanhaiya Kumar for calling Indian Army rapists.

The celebrated wrestler took to Twitter, and said in the lines of "some people fed snakes only to let the serpents spew venom against our army brethren".

It may be noted that Kumar, who is out in an six months interim bail, addressed a student’s gathering on International Women's Day on Tuesday, with the BJP’s youth wing filing a police complaint for making “anti-national” statements.

“No matter how much you try to stop us, we will speak up against human rights violations. We will raise our voice against AFSPA. While we have a lot of respect for our soldiers, we will still talk about the fact that in Kashmir women are raped by security personnel,” Kanhaiya reportedly said while addressing students on Tuesday night.

“During war in Rwanda 1000 women were raped. In Africa during the ethnic conflict, when military attacks other group firstly their women were raped. You take example of Gujarat, women were not just killed but were raped first,” he added.

Earlier, the wrestler had shared a patriotic poem in his Facebook post, after the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) controversy.
