Who Is Aashna Lidder: Daughter Of Brigadier LS Lidder Deletes Twitter Account?

Who is Aashna Lidder: The teenage daughter of Brigadier LS Lidder held herself together while performing the last rites of her father on December 10. Brigadier Lidder was one of the 13 people killed in the tragic Indian Air Force helicopter crash in Tamil Nadu on December 8. However, on the same day as she bid farewell to her father, many claimed that Aashna deleted her Twitter account after she was trolled.

Soon after the teen was seen standing next to her mother, to send off her father, many social media accounts began sharing screenshots of the kind of tweets that were liked by an account in Aashna's name. Many claimed her to be 'woke' because she has liked posts by the Congress Party and its leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra. There is confirmation on whether or not the account in question indeed belonged to Brigadier Lidder's daughter, or that it was indeed deleted due to trolling.

Shiv Sena MP Priyanka Chaturvedi to spoke up on the issue, criticising the alleged targeting of Aashna by trolls, tweeting, "17 year old,grieving yet holding strong,has just cremated her father,a decorated army officer,is being trolled for her views,they want to moderate her woke-ism, military train compulsorily,want her to be corrected. In the process got her to delete her account. How low will you go?"

The 16-year-old is the daughter of Brigadier LS Lidder and Geetika Lidder. Aashna Lidder has written a book called In Search of a Title: Musing of a Teenager. In the book, she chronicles a teen's journey through musings and learnings. She encapsulates the transition from being a baby to a child and then an adult with a mind of her own. While writing about a personal journey, she also points the character's ability to understand society and judge its flaws while also admiring its culture.

The foreword for the book was written by Late Chief of the Defence Staff Bipin Rawat. He wrote, "Aashna has encapsulated the spirit of humanity through poems. Growing up in a military family, she has experienced the highs and the lows every child in a situation like her has been through. Words and phrases are expressions of her belief and there surely is a budding poet, waiting to be recognised. So continue your quest in poetry with passion and wish you the best."
