ALIGARH, Oct 10: A First Information Report (FIR) has been lodged against four students of Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) for taking out a march in support of Palestine amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas war.
Besides the four students who have been named, a case has also been registered against several unidentified people.
The students who have been named in the FIR are Khalid, Kamran, Naved Choudhary, and Aatif.
The case was lodged on Monday night after a video of the march, with students chanting slogans in support of Palestine, went viral on social media.
The FIR mentioned that the march was taken out without permission.
Aligarh SP (City) Mrigank Pathak said that they received a tip-off about the students’ protest inside the AMU campus over an international issue without prior permission.
The FIR has been filed under Sections 155A, 188 and 505 of the Indian Penal Code for hatred and enmity between different communities.
The AMU administration said it would also take strict action against the students and those involved in the march as per the law.
Hamas terrorist group launched a surprise attack on Israel on October 7, which included unprecedented infiltration into Israeli towns and gunning down citizens. Several videos on social media showed Hamas terrorists killing people in Israel, with some being butchered inside their homes.
Muslim scholars march in solidarity with ‘liberators’ of Palestine
A central and southern Kerala-based association of Sunni Muslim scholars on Tuesday carried out a march to the Raj Bhavan here, the official residence of Governor Arif Mohammed Khan, in support of the fighters defending Palestine.
A small contingent of members of the Dakshina Kerala Jamiyyathul Ulama marched through the heart of the state capital to the Raj Bhavan shouting ‘La ilaha illallah’ and carrying a banner expressing solidarity with the “liberators” of Palestine.
The contingent was stopped more than 100 meters away from the Raj Bhavan by police.
Subsequently, the leaders of the contingent gave speeches at the spot about the promises that were allegedly denied to the people of Palestine.
The Hamas terrorists have also taken several hostages, including foreign citizens. Israel, meanwhile, has initiated ‘Operation Iron Swords’ in retaliation. More than 1,100 people have so far died in both Israel and Palestine amid the ongoing war. (Agencies)
