First charged with sedition, now expelled from college. This will create even more bad feelings, in our opinion, young people must be allowed to have their say, else they may go down the path of violence. Post 2014, India and Pakistan must have a public plan for Kashmir, put things down in pen and paper, and reduce tensions and improve commerce. Enough is enough.

Sedition is an idiotic knee jerk charge. But what did these geniuses expect celebrating Pakistan in a university named after the patron saint of Hindu revivalism?
ReplyDeleteThere are idiots and possible traitors but only in thought not in action. Their shunning by the student body is punishment enough . I dont think they should be expelled.
Also @sid rock, whatever Kashmiris think of India ,is it too much to ask that they behave with some basic decency not to mention common sense? What did they expect for their actions- a ticker tape parade?
PS: how come they are somewhat dark? They could pass for Kannadigas or Malayalees
