15-year-old Ludhiana teenage girl Jhanvi Behal first made it to the headlines when she slammed JNU student leader Kanhaiya Kumar, over the JNU controversy. She is back in news again now as she says she wants to hoist the national flag in the protest ridden state of Jammu and Kashmir. She wants to do it in Srinagar this Independence Day she says, "It's the place where students and other people not just insulted the national flag but also flew the flag of Pakistan, so I will go and hoist the tricolor right in front of them, let's see if they can stop me".

The Ludhiana student has strong feelings against anyone who is allegedly "anti-national", she has said in interviews earlier this year. In March, Jhanvi challenged JNU's Kanhaiya - who was arrested earlier this year for alleged sedition - to a public debate for his criticism of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. "Whatever Kanhaiya ji said against PM Modi is completely wrong and unacceptable. It would have been better if he had spoken against those anti-nationals who raised slogans rather than PM Modi," Jhanvi told several media outlets in March. She was referring to an incident in JNU, during which some people allegedly shouted anti-national slogans.
