Uttar Pradesh police registers a case of sedition against the 66 Kashmiri students of Swami Vivekanand Subharti University in Meerut, who allegedly celebrated the victory of Pakistan over India in a cricket match on Saturday. The case of sedition was registered under section 124 (a) of the Indian Penal Code against unknown students of SVSU yesterday. Our Lucknow Correspondent reports that a delegation of BJP leaders met the University Vice Chancellor Dr Manzoor Ahmad demanding stern action against the students who praised Pakistan. The trouble began on Saturday when a group of local and Kashmiri students were watching the India-Pakistan match in SVSUs Madan Lal Dhingra Hostel. A group of Kashmiri students allegedly celebrated Pakistans victory over India and a few of them shouted slogan in support of Pakistan. Their act triggered tension in the university. The University management initiated an inquiry and questioned other Kashmiri students who refused to divulge the identity of those who were involved in the incident. As a result, the management suspended all 67 Kashmiri students residing in the hostel. The suspended students were asked to vacate the hostel and go back to their homes in Jammu and Kashmir. They were dropped at Ghaziabad and Delhi railway station under police security. Experts believe that those who are supporting the errant students by concealing their names, can also be charged with conspiracy under section 120 (b). #Kashmir #Sedition #SVSU
