SRINAGAR; A student group in Jammu and Kashmir wants Pakistan cricket team to wear black bands during the final match of Asia Cup to protest the action against expulsion of Kashmiri students by an Indian varsity.

Kashmir University Students' Union (KUSU) wants Pakistan cricket team to wear black bands in the final of Asia Cup against Sri Lanka on Saturday. “Kashmiris have every right to demand their Muslim Brethren world over, and especially in Pakistan. And KUSU hereby asks Pakistan Cricket Team to show their solidarity with the students expelled from a University in Meerut, India,” a statement from the group whose offices were leveled during nocturnal raids in 2010, said.

“It is an honour for Kashmiris to be seditious. However, the charges of sedition are actually against Sheikh Abdullah's treachery and visionlessness that okayed a forced merger of Kashmir with the Hindu Union of India, which never was a union of hearts and souls,” the group claimed.

“For Kashmiris sedition is another name for resistance against Indian Occupation. KUSU once again, expresses solidarity with the students deported from India,” the group said.

Kashmir University students today held rallied in the campus to express solidaity with the ousted students. KU administration didnt allow the protest but students defied the restrictions.
