Delhi LG VK Saxena on Tuesday granted prosecution sanction against ex-Vice President of JNUSU Shehla Rashid over controversial tweets against Army.
“The sanction has been approved against Shehla Rashid for making two tweets about the Indian Army aimed at promoting enmity between different groups and indulging in acts prejudicial to the maintenance of harmony,” the Delhi LG office said in a statement.
According to officials at the L-G office, the sanction is related to a 2019 FIR against her, under IPC section 153A, registered at Special Cell police station in New Delhi, on the basis of a complaint by one Alakh Alok Srivastava.
The former Jawaharlal Nehru University Students’ Union (JNUSU) leader is accused of promoting enmity between different groups and indulging in acts prejudicial to maintenance of harmony through her tweets, they said.
The proposal for the prosecution sanction was moved by the Delhi Police and supported by Home Department of the Delhi government, the L-G office said.
The tweets by Shora, dated August 18, 2019, had accused the Army of entering houses and “torturing” locals in Kashmir.
The allegations were rejected by the Army as baseless.
