Two students from Jammu Kashmir have been expelled from the University hostel at Jamia Millia Islamia University in New Delhi, following the loss of India with Australia in the final match of Men’s World Cup 2023.
According to Kashmir Media Service, a group of Kashmiri students, talking to the media said that some firecrackers were heard in the Jauhar Hall following India’s loss to the world cup final game.
The firecrackers triggered anger among a group of students who were upset over India’s loss at the hands of Australia by seven wickets in the final at Ahmedabad, Gujarat.
Before the loss, a verbal brawl had erupted between two groups of students, one supporting the Indian team and the other supporting Australia, however, the timely intervention of some senior students pacified the situation, they told the media men.
Firecrackers are not new to the university, there have been multiple occasions when students have burst crackers inside the campus, but one fails to understand why were Kashmiri students singled out this time, the students questioned.—KMS
