Dukhtaran-e- Millat (DeM) chief, Syeda Aasiya Andrabi has expressed solidarity with Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) students who were charged with sedition and criminal conspiracy, and condemned the arrest of student leader Kanhaya Kumar. 

“New Delhi, by harassing all those who stand for truth, is actually trying to stop the Sun from shining which is not possible. The student leader’s arrest is highly condemnable. On the one hand, India claims to be the largest democracy of the world and on the other, it curbs the freedom of expression and wants to stop everybody from speaking truth,” Aasiya, in a statement today, said.

 Commenting on a protest carried by JNU students on the occasion of Afzal Guru’s anniversary, Aasiya said, “Anybody who has a clear and truthful heart can stand for truth anywhere and that is exactly what JNU students did by standing for justice. India wants to suppress even those Indians who have come to realize the reality of Kashmir but it should know that no power on earth can stop the Sun of truth from chasing the darkness of lies.”  

“Today a handful of Indian students raised voice and time is not far when they will find more and more people joining them. Time has come when more and more conscious people will raise voice and ask New Delhi why it was holding Kashmir captive. Instead of filing fake cases against these future leaders, the government of India should be thankful to them that they want to show them a way out of the mess India is trapped in because of its rigidity,” Aasiya said.(Agencies)
