Students suffer, netas bicker

The 67 Kashmiri students from Swami Vivekanand Subharti University in Meerut who had cheered Pakistan when that country's cricket team beat India in the Asia Cup match last on Sunday were hit with sedition charges under sections 124A, 153 and 427 of the IPC but freed from it later as withering criticism of the police move forced the Uttar Pradesh government to intervene in the matter.

As the issue turned into a political hot button both in New Delhi and in Srinagar, with People's Democratic Party patron Mufti Mohammad Sayeed calling on Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to look into it, Pakistan waded into the controversy on Thursday and said its "heart and academic institutions were open" for the students.
