Kashmiri students beaten, forced to shout anti-Pak slogans

Noida/Srinagar: Three Kashmiri students from a private university in Greater Noida have alleged that fellow students misbehaved with them and forced them to shout anti-Pakistan slogans, drawing a sharp reaction from the Jammu and Kashmir

“When I told them that there were three of us who are Kashmiris, they started abusing us and thrashed us.

This has happened before,” the Kashmiri student alleged.  The student alleged that the fellow students “asked us to shout ‘India Zindabad' and then asked us to repeat ‘Pakistan Murdabad'”.

“When I asked them why I should do it, they abused us again and called me a terrorist,” the student alleged.  

Reacting to the incident, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said on Twitter, “If the universities or state authorities can't protect Kashmiri students coming there then man up & admit your inability or unwillingness.”

In a sarcastic remark, Omar said beating patriotism into these students would not remove any fear of sense of alienation among the Kashmiris.
