Shehla who is leading a movement against arrest of student union president Kanhaiya Kumar over an event against hanging of Afzal Guru, is planning to approach the Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) to complain against the hate letter.
The letter received from an anonymous sender at JNUSU office is full of abuses and targets Shehla as an "anti-national" for supporting those accused of sedition. The communication also mentions political leaders Sitaram Yechury and Rahul Gandhi in the same "category" for having visited the campus to express solidarity with students.
"I will now approach Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) about the letter. This is the best thing the right-wing opponents can come up with," she added.
Shehla had last month approached NCW saying she had opposed the invite to Yoga Guru Ramdev to be a keynote speaker in an academic conference at JNU and in return, she had received a letter "hurling abuses" at her.
The varsity's students union president Kanhaiya Kumar is in judicial custody in a sedition case in connection with the February 9 event. Two other students Umar Khalid and Anirban Bhattacharya are in police custody in the same case.
