Tehreek-e-Hurriyat Jammu and Kashmir Chairman, Mohammad Ashraf Sehrai, has denounced the sedition charges and filing of a charge sheet against the seven Kashmiri students by Delhi police
According to Kashmir Media Service (KMS), Kashmiri students Aqeeb Hussain, Mujeeb Hussain, Muneeb Hussain, Umair Gul, Rayees Rasool, Khalid Bashir, Basharat Ali were among 10 Jawaharlal Nehru University students union members who were charge-sheeted by the police on the charge of raising slogans in favour of Kashmir freedom during a function in 2016.
Muhammad Ashraf Sehrai in a statement issued in Srinagar said, the harassment of Kashmiri students must be condemned in strongest words as such incidents have serious implications.
He said that the persecution and serious intimidation of Kashmiris in the name of so-called national interest thus can only be termed as worst dictatorship.
Meanwhile, Jammu and Kashmir Muslim League in a statement also denounced the sedition charges against Kashmiri students pursuing studies at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) in New Delhi. A Muslim League spokesman said that the carrier of Kashmiri students outside the territory is being ruined on one pretext or the other.
Hurriyat leaders Shabbir Ahmad Dar and Javed Ahmad in their separate statements also demanded immediate withdrawal of sedition charges against JNU Kashmiri students.
