Agra: Lawyers' associations in Agra have decided not to provide legal aid to three Kashmiri students. The three students have been charged with sedition after allegedly encouraging Pakistan's victory against India in a T20 World Cup match. Students' families are now approaching lawyers in other cities. Mathura advocate Madhuvan Dutt Chaturvedi has agreed to defend the students after a family contacted them. Chaturvedi said that we will soon file a bail application for the students in the Agra Court.

Earlier a tweet from UP CM Yogi Adityanath office suggested sedition charges against this individual from Kashmir.

Chaturvedi is fighting the case of 26-year-old PhD students Ateeq-ur Rehman, Masood Ahmed and Mohammad Alam, who were booked under sedition and UAPA along with journalist Siddiqui Kappan on their way to visit the family of the Hathras victim. Meanwhile, the lawyers issued a statement saying that no help will be given to those who go against the country.

Youth Lawyers Association (Agra Division) President Nitin Verma said that these students got admission under the Prime Minister's Special Scholarship Scheme (PMSSS) in India to make their career and they were cheering the neighbouring country against their country. . Sunil Sharma, president of Agra Advocates Association said that students should concentrate on their studies instead of indulging in anti-national activities.

The students union has urged the respective state governments to blacklist them. Association spokesperson Nasir Khuhmi said in a statement that we are coordinating with the state governments in Punjab, Karnataka, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand, where Kashmiri students are currently studying. We have compiled a list of such colleges. It will be sent to the respective state governments for action against those who fail to ensure the safety of their students.

Situation in J&K after two years of suppression should’ve been an eye opener for GOI & lead to course correction.BJPs pseudo patriotism disregards the idea of India. Release these students immediately
