Srinagar:<\/b> At least twelve Kashmir students sustained injuries after trouble erupted over India and Pakistan cricket match before Friday congregational prayers at a varsity in Rajasthan. India and Pakistan are to lock horns today in the ongoing T20 World Cup being played in Bangladesh.<\/span><\/div>\n
Reports reaching GNS said that today at around 11:45 am, some local students started hurling abuses at Kashmir students. \u201cSituation turned hostile after the local students, who were about 30-40 in numbers thrashed four Kashmir students,\u201d a BTech student from Kashmir, who insisted not to be named, told GNS over phone from the Meewar varsity.<\/span><\/div>\n
The latest \u2018attack\u2019 on the Kashmir students, yet again, is linked to the game of cricket between India and Pakistan.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cWe were preparing for Friday prayers,\u201d he said, adding: \u201cIn their assault, one student fell unconscious, who was removed by his colleagues to the hostel room.\u201d \u201cIn the meantime, the local students including the residents of the area started to pelt stones on Kashmiri,\u201d he alleged.<\/span><\/div>\n
He alleged that all this happened in the presence of local police and varsity administration and they played role of \u2018mute spectators\u2019.<\/span><\/div>\n
About 650 Kashmir students who are pursuing different courses at the varsity have been \u2018threatened\u2019.<\/span><\/div>\n
The student claimed that they are being \u2018harassed since March 2, when Pakistan defeated India\u2019. \u201cSince then, they are targeting us and they want that we should leave the varsity,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/div>\n
The student said \u2018we want to leave the varsity\u2019, but \u201cwe have been cornered from all sides and they aren\u2019t letting us to go\u201d.<\/span><\/div>\n
When GNS contacted Senior Superintendent of Police, Chittorgarh, he said: \u201cA local student has sustained minor in a scuffle between two groups. The police is on the spot and we are ascertaining the facts and a case will be filed in this regard,\u201d adding: We have asked for a report from University authorities and whosoever will be involved, law will take action against him.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n
The Meewar University is located at Gangrar, Chittorgarh in the Indian state of Rajasthan. The Kashmir students have been selected in the varsity through Prime Minister\u2019s scholarship scheme.<\/span><\/div>\n
Earlier, At least 67 Kashmir students were suspended by Meerut\u2019s Swami Vivekanand Subharti University (SVSU) over cheering for Pakistan cricket team after they defeated India in a league match of previously held Asia cup in Bangladesh and were charged with sedition. However, after a public outcry, the sedition charges were revoked, but the students have been booked for creating communal hatred and ruckus.  (GNS)<\/span><\/div>\n
