Indian court refuses to quash fir against Kashmiri Prof for WhatsApp post

Mumbai, April 15, 2023 (PPI-OT):Demonstrating its bias against Kashmiris, an Indian court has dismissed a petition seeking to quash a first information report (FIR) registered against a young Kashmiri professor over his WhatsApp status. A Division Bench of the Bombay High Court Comprising Justices Sunil Shukre and MM Sathaye refused to quash the FIR against the Kashmiri professor.

A professor at the Kolhapur College in the Indian state of Maharashtra, Javed Ahmed Hajam, was booked after he termed the abrogation of Article 370 as a “black day” for Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir in his WhatsApp status. Narendra Modi-led fascist Indian government abrogated the Article 370 on August 05, 2019, which granted special status to IIOJK. He had also posted another WhatsApp status wishing Pakistan Happy Independence Day on August 14.
