Former Vice-President of the Jawaharlal Nehru University Students’ Union and activist Shehla Rashid has been a vocal critic in recent times and is known to give it back to the trolls on Twitter.
On Saturday, she posted a selfie in a new short hair look and trolled the BJP IT cell. “IT cell is pulling my 2017/18 photos in New York, Srinagar, etc. to ‘prove’ that I’m holidaying in Europe. Stop using old photos. Let me help you with my recent picture,” Rashid wrote.

An image captioned “sorry Modi ji”, was posted by her. The image said, “Sorry Modi ji. My document burned in Gujrat 2002. Sorry (sic).”
