Ludhiana’s 15-year-old student of of DAV Public School, Jhanvi Behal, is getting trolled for issuing a challenge to debate JNUSU president, Kanhaiya Kumar.

According to The Hindustan Times, Jhanvi has :

* Sought judicial intervention over frequent dharnas and the traffic snarls that
they result in.

Jhanvi hit out at Kanhaiya on Sunday for his famous speech, in which targeted PM Modi.
She told ANI instead of criticising the PM, he should have said something on those who raised anti-national slogans in JNU.
Jhanvi challenged Kanhaiya to meet her 'wherever and whenever' for a debate and has been trending since.
