Pakistan regrets India’s move to book treason case against Kashmiri students

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s Foreign Office on Thursday regretted India’s decision to try 67 students, who cheered Pakistani cricket team in its match against India, under treason charges.

Swami Vivekanand Subharti University in Meerut, Uttar Pardesh suspended 67 students of the Kashmiri origin earlier this week – their crime was that they supported Pakistani cricket team in Asia Cup match against India on Sunday.

Pakistan beat India by one wicket in the last over.

Pakistan’s Foreign Office criticized the Indian move and offered that these students can take admissions in Pakistani universities.

According to reports coming in from Indian media, the Indian state police have registered a case of sedition against these 67 students. 

Reports say that these have been asked to vacate university hostel and have been asked to go back to their homes in Indian-held Kashmir.
