In an unsurprising twist of events, an outspoken JNU alumna and self-proclaimed ‘activist,’ Shehla Rashid, has taken a sudden U-turn that left the internet buzzing. The Leftists had a change of heart regarding the abrogation of Article 370, Kashmir and PM Modi. This overnight remarkable change transpired due to the fear of Bharat’s Law. Let’s dive into this rollercoaster of a transformation from Leftist Rebel to Righteous Nationalist.

It was just a while ago when Shehla Rashid was known for her fiery rhetoric against the Indian government. She was particularly vocal about Jammu & Kashmir and PM Modi’s actions there. Her opposition to the BJP and PM Modi was a defining characteristic of her ‘activism.’ However, her ‘activism’ didn’t just stop at spewing venom and fake news against the government. She often ventured into the treacherous territory of misinformation campaigns with the sole purpose of tarnishing the image of the Indian Armed Forces.
But then, as the saying goes, “Reality has a way of intruding.” The law has finally caught up with Ms. Rashid! Earlier this year the Indian Army decided to pursue a legal case against Ms. Rahid for spreading fake news and undermining the Indian Army! Lately, the Lt. Governor of Delhi has allowed prosecution against her inflammatory remarks against the government and the armed forces. Thus, as the noose of the legal system tightened, a remarkable transformation began in Ms. Rashid.
The ‘Eureka’ Moment: Middle East Realization
Looking at the events in the Middle East, today I realise how lucky we are as Indians. The Indian Army and security forces have sacrificed their everything for our safety.

Suddenly, in a surprising ‘Eureka’ moment, Shehla Rashid was struck by a revelation. It seems that she looked at the events unfolding in the Middle East to reach a ‘Lightbulb Moment’! The truth dawned in her mind about how fortunate she and her fellow Indians really are. And thus came an unprecedented act of acknowledging the ground reality by Shehla Rashid.
To win the favor of the right kind, she is now singing praises about the administration in Jammu and Kashmir, the Indian Army, and even PM Modi.
So, what was the turning point, you ask? It seems the ongoing crisis in the Middle East was the missing puzzle piece. Rashid realized that peace was a distant dream without security. The sacrifices made by the Indian Army and security forces for the safety and security of the nation finally found a place in her heart. However, if she truly believes her new statements are only known to God and herself!
Reality Bites: Legal Consequences
Shah Faesal IAS and Shehla Rashid inform the #SupremeCourt through their lawyer that they don't want to be part of the petitions challenging the dilution of #Article370. #SupremeCourt deletes their names from the array of parties.

It’s vital to mention that Ms. Rashid’s change of heart was not purely coincidental. The long arm of the law had a role to play. The case was filed against Ms. Rashid for spreading fake news about the Army and the government had a huge influence on her life. Her charges range from sedition to promoting enmity between classes.
When the Lt Governor of Delhi granted prosecution sanction, it acted like a wake-up call for Rashid. The legal wheels were turning and she made some critical decisions. For instance, she withdrew her petition against the abrogation of Article 370. Her earlier stance on this was quite vehement.
The Power of Law Prevails
Shehla Rashid’s amusing verbal somersaults prove that लातों के भूत, बातों से नहीं मानते | Making her take a U-turn on her stance on Kashmir highlights a profound truth of ‘peacefuls’. As long as PM Modi is in power, the power of law is undeniable. When the law comes knocking on one’s door; principles, opinions, and ideologies often undergo a profound transformation. Ms. Rashid’s U-turn is a stark reminder that the only way to deal with ‘peacefuls’ and their shenanigans is by using the force of the legal system!
In Bharat, the abrogation of Article 370 was a necessary step to ensure unity and development. Shehla Rashid’s flip-flop saga reminds us all that मोदी है तो मुमकिन है| Moreover, it underscores that a strong and decisive government empowers those that enforce the law. A multicultural society like Bharat needs a strong wall to protect the nation from imploding from the inside. Only when the law comes knocking do the ‘peacefuls’ become manageable. Will the U-turn save Shehla Rashid? Is she really a Righteous Nationalist? The answers will only be revealed once the cases on Ms. Rashid are over!
