BJP Supports UAPA Charges Against Students for Raising Anti-India Slogans
Senior BJP leader Kavinder Gupta has supported the Jammu and Kashmir administration’s decision to invoke the stringent Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act against some students accused of anti-India sloganeering on a university campus in Srinagar during the Cricket World Cup final.
India lost the match to Australia on November 19.
“We fully support the administration’s move to invoke UAPA in case of anti-India sloganeering by some students…. The dispensation cannot allow bids to incite revolts and rebellion,” Gupta told reporters here.
The former deputy chief minister criticised Kashmir-based political parties, including the National Conference and the Peoples Democratic Party, for supporting the accused students. Gupta said the actions of the accused students showed a disregard for the law of the land and posed an open challenge to the integrity and sovereignty of the country.
He called upon the administration to take stern action against those involved in such anti-national activities.
