Sajad Lone, J&K Peoples Conference leader, said punitive action should not be taken against students.
Two cases under the tough anti-terror law, the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act or UAPA, have been filed against medical students in Srinagar who celebrated Pakistan's maiden T20 World Cup victory against India on Sunday. I strongly disagree. If you think that they r not patriotic enough because they cheered for another team- u should have the courage and the belief to wean them back if u think they have gone patriotically astray. Punitive actions won't help. Have not helped in the past either. https://t.co/xtHnpViX1S
The videos show women students rejoicing Pakistan victory and shouting pro-Pakistan slogans at girls hostels of Medical College Srinagar and Shere Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences. The clip has since been widely circulated on social media.
