Tennis legend Martina Navratilova was subjected to some nasty comments on Twitter, after she shared an article on the ongoing controversy in the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) on Monday.
The article titled 'India's Crackdown on Dissent' was a piece on the sedition charges against student leaders in the university.
India’s Crackdown on Dissent, - is Pratap Bhanu Mehta right or wrong? Does he know what he is talking about? https://t.co/aMOfAWSti5

Here are some of Martina's responses.
@pliersnwires I am not supporting violent anything - left or right wing. Hate communists, hate white supremacy jerks etc.

@dvji so we don’t say anything- then you say we don’t care. We say something- you say shut up, you don’t know and we care more. Ok then….

@dvji not giving advice- just posting an article and saying extremism can become violent very easily.

@dvji and these days RW extremism seems on the rise. I could be wrong. And I love India btw- if I didn’t care I wouldn’t speak…
