Even as video shows Jignesh Mevani abusing police, Shehla Rashid paints the MLA as a ‘victim’

A JNU ‘student leader’ named Shehla Rashid took to Twitter today to accuse the Gujarat Police of abducting MLA from Gujarat, Jignesh Mevani.

She shared a video of the incident on Twitter too:

Twitter users who understand Gujarati were quick to point out that it was Jignesh Mevani in fact who was misbehaving with the Police and the Police was merely doing its job, based on the content of the video that was shared:

Jignesh Mevani is a Congress ally who is known for his uncouth behaviour and unsavoury remarks. He had used derogatory remarks for the Prime Minister in the recent past. He has been involved in inciting violence and fueling casteist sentiments across the country as well.

Shehla Rashid, on the other hand, seems to speak up on every issue, though she has remained silent on Islamists giving her rape and death threats.
