NIT Srinagar Students Unite in Protest Against Alleged Blasphemous Remarks
Many students of the National Institute of Technology (NIT) Srinagar unite in protest pertaining to an alleged blasphemous social media post against a particular religion shared by a student from the institute. The protest intensified as Amar Singh Degree College students also joined, chanting pro-islamic alogans and urging stringent measures against the alleged student.
The college authorities suspended the classes and sent the students home early to prevent escalation of the protests. The administration have deployed heavy security outside the college. An FIR was registered following hundreds of students streaming on to the NIT campus in Srinagar against the non-local engineering student for allegedly posting the “blasphemous video”.
