In yet another brazen attempt to silence students dissent, the Kerala police has arrested two students from South India’s Kerala for allegedly sticking posters on the Kashmir issue inside their college campus.
The duo picked up from Kerala’s Malappuram has been booked under sedition, following which students have protested against the police action.
Identified as Rinshad Reera and Faris are B Com students at the Government College in Malappuram.
The students have been accused of sticking posters condemning the violence against Kashmiri students after the Pulwama attack which killed 49 CRPF personnel last week.
The posters condemned the violence against attacks on Kashmiris by ‘Sangh Parivar workers.’
The Malappuram DYSP Jaleel Thottathil however refuting the allegation told The News Minute that the sedition case was registered not for posters condemning the Sangh Parivar, but for demanding the liberation of Kashmir.
According to reports, cases against 7 students from the college have been registered so far.
