In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, senior Congress leader, Prof. Saifuddin Soz has said has written to Indian Home Minister Amit Shah demanding release of the three Kashmiri students arrested over the allegation of cheering for the Paki-stani cricket team after its win against the Indian team in the T20 World Cup in October 2021. “The police had not been able to prove that these three Kashmiri students had cheered for Paki-stani team. Instead, it was found that they had con-veyed a screen shot of greetings to their friends,” Soz said in his letter.
He urged Shah to release them as early as possi-ble. “They could be asked to appear before you for a brief discussion and advice. That would be a better proposition than keeping them in jail,” he added. The students were arrested by police in Agra in Uttar Pradesh and is currently lodged in a jail in the city.—KMS
