After Mumbai ‘Free Kashmir’ poster surfaces at Delhi varsity

NEW DELHI/ISLAMABAD: A ‘Free Kashmir’ poster was waved during a protest in Delhi University against the violent attack on students of Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) in the Indian capital.

The students of St Stephens College of Delhi University boycotted their classes and took part in the massive protest to show their solidarity to the JNU students. As pictures of the protest surfaced a student was seen holding a Kashmir Aazad poster. The students also chanted Azaadi (freedom) slogans.

Earlier in a protest in Mumbai against the violence on the JNU students a woman was spotted holding a ‘Free Kashmir’ placard.

After the incident the Mumbai Police filed an FIR against the woman identified as Mahek Mirza Prabhu. The FIR was filed at the Colaba Police Station.

On Sunday evening JNU students were attacked by masked goons affiliated with Akhil Bhartiya Vidyarthi Parishad a right-wing all India student organisation affiliated to the extremist Hindu organization Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh.

Meanwhile, in Indian Occupied Kashmir (IOK) the police have issued a circular urging people to officially register the WhatsApp groups they moderate.

According to reports this move comes after a five-month internet shutdown in the occupied territory which is still ongoing in most parts of the Kashmir Valley. The Indian government blocked internet and telecommunications services in occupied Kashmir on 5th August last year to prevent anti-India demonstrations when it revoked the special status of the territory.

Kargil police in a tweet suggested that the admins have to register their WhatsApp groups at the nearest police station. Moreover they will be held responsible for contents shared in the group.
