The United Liberation Front (ULF), a terrorist organisation, has warned individuals who filed a complaint against medical students in Srinagar for celebrating Pakistan’s T20 World Cup victory over India on Sunday.
The ULF claimed to know who submitted the police complaint and warned them that unless they apologised within 48 hours, they would suffer penalties.
“We are having full input on who is behind these FIRs. The non-local employees and students are warned not to indulge in such activities,” the militant group said in a statement.
The ULF had claimed responsibility for the attack on migrant workers in south Kashmir’s Anantnag earlier this month.
Videos of celebrations at many places in the Valley went viral on social media after Pakistan secured a 10-wicket win over India in the match. Fire crackers were also burst.
The Jammu and Kashmir Police has registered two cases against medical students under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) for celebrating Pakistan’s victory over India. The cases have been registered against students in hostels at Srinagar’s Government Medical College in Karan Nagar and SKIMS Soura. Six people were also detained in Samba district.
The J-K Students Association has urged Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha to withdraw the UAPA charges on humanitarian grounds.
Meanwhile, Jammu and Kashmir BJP chief Ravinder Raina said those who celebrated Pakistan’s win over India would be jailed for “conspiring” against the country.
“Anyone who poses a threat to the territorial integrity and sovereignty of our motherland will be bulldozed and crushed. FIRs have been registered against those who celebrated Pakistan’s win in Kashmir and elsewhere and created a ruckus under a conspiracy are being identified. Police, CID and NIA are taking action against them and all of them will be put in jail,” Raina said.
