Former chief ministers Omar Abdullah and Mehbooba Mufti have demanded the immediate release of these students who have been taken into custody by the police in Agra.
The complaint was registered against three students of an engineering college in Agra for allegedly "shouting pro-Pakistan slogans after India's loss to the neighbouring country in a recently held T-20 World Cup match.
The students are currently accommodated in a private school in Gandhinagar locality of state capital Bhopal.
According to Kashmiri students, Governor Satya Pal Malik has no sympathy for them and the sanction of Rs 1 lakh and an Eid invite is to buy their consent for the undemocratic means adopted by the Indian government.
"They will be back to their studies soon as we will have talks with their families and ensure their safety," institute chairman said.
Ground realities explain why militancy remains an attractive allurement for Kashmiri youth.
That the attacker was a Kashmiri made members of the mob lose their minds and forget that if Kashmir is an integral part of India so are Kashmiris our own citizens.
The Prime Minister's warning against assaults comes a day after the Supreme Court asked the Centre and 10 states to ensure the safety of Kashmiris against violence and social boycott.
Soni Razdan has spoken in support of Kashmiri students who have been victims of abuse and assault after the 14 February Pulwama terror attack.
