Former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Mehbooba Mufti Tuesday termed as "shocking" and "disconcerting" the arrest of seven university students for allegedly raising “objectionable slogans” and “celebrating the Indian cricket team`s loss” in the World Cup final.
The PDP president also requested the union territory`s Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha to look into the issue. “Disconcerting & shocking that cheering for a winning team too has been criminalised in Kashmir. Normalising slapping of draconian laws like UAPA on journalists, activists & now students reveals the ruthless mindset of the establishment towards youngsters in J&K. Hearts & minds of people through barrel of a gun (sic),” Mehbooba said in a post on X.
