Omar Abdullah was referring to reports about Kashmiri students, who were arrested for allegedly celebrating Pakistan's win over India at T20 World Cup, being heckled while they were coming out of the court on Thursday.
National Conference (NC) leader Omar Abdullah on Friday said the behaviour of lawyers in Agra towards the three Kashmiri students, arrested for allegedly celebrating Pakistan's win over India at the T20 World Cup, was unacceptable and the role of police is suspected. The behaviour of the lawyers is unacceptable & the role of the police is deeply suspect. With polls around the corner rather than make friends with Kashmiri students the powers that be are happier using them as political cannon fodder.
The Kashmiri students, who have been booked for sedition, were remanded in judicial custody for 14 days by a court in Agra on Thursday.
"The behaviour of the lawyers is unacceptable & the role of the police is deeply suspect. With polls around the corner rather than make friends with Kashmiri students the powers that be are happier using them as political cannon fodder," the former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister wrote on Twitter.
