According to Kashmir Media Service, the occupied territory is simmering with anger since Tuesday after the Hindu student studying at the National Institute of Technology (NIT) Srinagar posted on social media a derogatory video clip about the Holy Prophet (PBUH).
Scores of students took out the march against the derogatory social media post by the NIT student in the university complex located in the Hazratbal area of the city after the Juma prayers.
The protesters raised slogans in favour of the Holy Prophet (PBUH), officials said. They said the protesters, including female students, were not allowed to move outside the main gate of the university. They later dispersed peacefully.
The students held a protest at the NIT on Tuesday against the heinous act of the Hindu student that has hurt religious sentiments of the Muslims. The protesters demanded stringent action against the Hindu student. Fearing escalation in protests, the authorities closed the NIT for winter vacation on Thursday, 10 days ahead of the schedule.
Forceful demonstrations were also held at Srinagar’s Amar Singh College and Islamia College on Wednesday against the blasphemous social media post.
