In 2019, Singh publicly accused Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti of negligence following the Pulwama terror attack, and in a post on Twitter, asked for the public execution of 40 Kashmiri Indian citizens in exchange for the lives of the service personnel that had been killed in the attack. Singh subsequently reiterated these remarks in an interview with "Indian Express", stating that her call for the execution of Indian citizens was so that Chief Minister Mufti would "realise what is pain." In 2019, Singh was also the subject of a university investigation following allegations of discrimination against Muslim students at Jawaharlal Nehru University. The complaint alleged that she had referred to Muslim students at the University, in particular, those from Kashmir, as terrorists. The Jawaharlal Nehru Teachers' Association condemned the remarks and requested an inquiry into her conduct, following which Singh filed a police complaint against the teachers' association. Singh has since filed a criminal complaint against the students who complained to the university about her remarks, accusing them of attempting to incite violence.
