Srinagar: Terming Kashmiri students who cheered for Pakistan Cricket team in Swami Vivekananda Subharti University in Meerut as ‘misguided’ Chief Minister Omar Abdullah Wednesday said that by charging with sedition, the career of these students will get ruined.
According to CNS, Omar Abdullah in his tweets said that he will talk to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister and intervene on behalf of these misguided students to have this charge of sedition removed.
“Sedition charge against Kashmiri students is an unacceptably harsh punishment that will ruin their futures & will further alienate them,” Omar tweeted adding that, “I believe what the students did was wrong & misguided but they certainly didn’t deserve to have charges of sedition slapped against them.
He further went on and tweeted that, “finally while what the boys may have done in Meerut is misguided it certainly isn’t illegal, regardless of who them were cheering. The sad fact is that some of these students are recipients of the PM scholarship for Kashmiris. Perhaps They need to introspect.”
In his last tweet, Omar said that,”have just spoken to CM UP who has assured me he will personally look in to the matter of the Kashmiri students in Meerut.” (CNS)
