MEERUT: A university in Uttar Pradesh has expelled as many as 67 Kashmiri students (130 according to some reports) for celebrating Pakistan's victory against India in a thrilling Asia Cup cricket match between the archrivals on Sunday, prompting the management to take ‘action’.
The university initially decided to suspend only the offending students but following a ‘three-tier’ inquiry, it was decided to suspend as many as 67 students because they didn’t reveal the names of the few offenders.
The university rejected the reports of violent clashes between locals and Kashmiris and claimed that the students were dropped at railway station under strict security.
The university is called Swami Vivekanand Subharti University (SVSU) and its vice chancellor Dr Manzoor Ahmad was quoted by an Indian paper saying "he was taken aback by such an unacceptable gesture of a few students".
He went on to say the university cannot accept such behaviour from any student in the university.
The match was being screened at one of university’s hostels where both local and Kashmiri students were watching the nemesis gig. The site became troubled when a few Kashmiris reportedly clapped every time a wicket of Indian player would fall.
According to Manzoor Ahmad, he was told that students later cherished Pakistan’s victory and even shouted Pakistan Zindabad.
The students were suspended for not apologizing, the VC claimed.
Hundreds of male and female students from Indian occupied Kashmir are enrolled at the university in various courses.
The matter is reportedly being probed by additional city magistrate upon recommendation from district magistrate and that the findings will come in a few weeks.
Parents of the suspended students told the media that many students were attacked and manhandled by the locals. Kashmiri students even reported vandalism in their hostel wards.
