Jammu, March 28, 2023 (PPI-OT): Extremists associated with a Hindutva organization have threatened with dire consequences students from Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir for offering prayers at the University campus in Mathura district of Uttar Pradesh. Activists of the Hindutva organization, All India Hindu Mahasabha, demanded an action against the students. They even threatened to perform shuddhikaran (purification process) in the campus with Ganjajal [Ganga water] and recite Hanuman Chalisa [a Hindu devotional hymn in praise of Hanuman] if the university fails to take any action against the Kashmiri students.

Sanskriti University, siding with the Hindutva extremists, has asked Kashmiri students to restrict worshiping to their hostel and avoid offering namaz in the open. All India Hindu Mahasabha submitted a memorandum to the district administration seeking action against the students as well as the university authorities. “Eighty-two Muslim students are studying in the university. Many of them hail from Jammu and Kashmir. It has been noted that for many days these students are offering namaz on the university campus,” the Hindutva outfit complained.
