The Valley’s well-known legal expert and columnist Sheikh Showkat was removed from the post of the principal of the Kashmir Law College, Srinagar, on Monday apparently for his ideological position on the Kashmir issue.
Meanwhile, days after his bail, Kashmiri journalist Asif Sultan, who was arrested for four years, has been booked under the stringent Public Safety Act (PSA) and re-arrested in Srinagar.
The management of the Kashmir Law College, Srinagar, has started a fresh process to appoint a new principal, officials said. The college management, however, is silent on the sudden decision.
