The controversy surrounding Gurmehar Kaur, the Delhi University student whose social media posts went viral triggering a massive 'patriot war', refuses to die. Though the Lady Shri Ram College student has distanced herself from the row and left Delhi, some photos of her are being circulated on the social media in an apparent attempt to highlight her links with the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP).

Photos of Gurmehar, whose father was martyred fighting terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir in 1999, with filmmaker Ram Subramanian are doing the rounds on social media.

Ram, the founder of Facebook page Voice of Ram on which Gurmehar Kaur's video promoting India-Pakistan peace was posted in 2016, has close links with AAP's national convener Arvind Kejriwal and other top party leaders.

Several pictures of Ram with Kejriwal, Sanjay Yadav and Kumar Vishwas are being circulated on social media. Questions are now being raised over Ram's political affiliations.

Meanwhile, Ram has posted a video in support of Gurmehar. "Yesterday Gurmehar called me and she was very uncomfortable with the events unfolding here in Delhi," said Ram in the video captioned, "You are not alone Gurmehar Kaur. I got your back."

The Delhi CM has come out in open support of Gurmehar amid the controversy slamming the BJP which he termed as the party of goons and criminals. "Just listen to this. This is BJP. They will destroy our country. Everyone must rise against their goondaism," Kejriwal has tweeted along with a video of Gurmehar.

Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal promised "strict action" against those violating law after Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal approached him over the recent North Campus clash and alleged rape threats to Gurmehar.

Kejriwal met Baijal at the Raj Niwas seeking action against the ABVP activists involved in the last week's violence, in which few Delhi University (DU) faculty members had suffered serious injuries.
