Facilitator says case closed, Kashmiri students to join University after Holi

Police says law will take its own course
Srinagar: The 67 students suspended by Swami Vivekanand Subharti University (SVSU) for cheering Pakistan victory over India in the Asia Cup match held Sunday last, will be joining the institute after Holi, an official of All All India Centre for Urban and Rural Development (AICURD) Saturday said.
Rabia Baji, chairperson AICURD, which facilitates the admission of Kashmiri students in professional colleges across other Indian states under the Prime Minister’s special scholarship scheme, told GNS over phone from Meerut that she has sorted out the issue with the University administration. She said case against the students have been dropped after University officials withdrew their complaint against the Kashmiri students
“I met the Vice Chancellor of the University and urged them to take all the steps for the welfare of the students. The University has withdrawn the complaint. There are no cases against Kashmir students now,” she said, adding” Some people tried to draw political mileage from this issues. No political party should play with the career of the students,”
However, contradicting the claims of AICURD chairperson, police said that the case has not been closed and the investigations were still in progress.
“We’ll act as per the law. The investigations into the case will go on. There is no question to close the case. The law will take its own course,” Senior Superintendent of police (SSP) Meerut, Onkar Singh told Global News Service. (GNS)
