A law student from Jamia Milia Islamia University Mahoor Parvez in a social media post has referred to the Indian Army and Jammu and Kashmir police personnel who martyred in Handwara on Sunday as “war criminals”, OpIndia reported.
Apart from calling the Indian soldiers “war criminals”, she also referred to the terrorists killed in the operation as “liberators” who pick up guns.
The report by OpIndia also carried a screenshot of her story. However, she has now deactivated her Instagram and other social media accounts, the report said.
Four Indian Army personnel including a Colonel, a Major and two jawans from the 21 Rajputana Rifles, and a J&K cop had lost lives in an encounter with terrorists. The encounter took place in the Chanjmulla area of North Kashmir's Handwara in Kupwara District.
“There has been a tweet related to the recent unfortunate incident in Kashmir, purportedly by a member of our Firm. This is to clarify that the person was a student intern in Oct 2019 & has no connection with the firm anymore (formal or informal) whatsoever,” the law firm tweeted.
The student at the centrally funded varsity had also worked as a volunteer at educational non-governmental organisation (NGO) Teach for India (TFI) in 2017.
However, by the time of filing the report, there had been no response from the Jamia administration regarding Parvez’s remarks.
