PRAYAGRAJ: Observing that “the unity of India is not made of bamboo seeds which will bend to the passing winds of empty slogans”, the Allahabad high court on Wednesday granted bail to three students of Jammu and Kashmir who were accused of raising pro-Pakistan slogans after India lost to Pakistan in World T-20 match in October last year.
While granting bail to Inayat Altaf Shekh, Shokat Ahmad Gani and Arsheed Yusuf, who hailed from J&K and were students of an engineering college at Agra, Justice Ajay Bhanot also expressed concern that lawyers at Agra had allegedly assaulted the applicants and the bar association had decided not to represent them, hence the applicants had no option but to directly approach the high court.
