Srinagar: Newly elected Parliament Member and National Conference leader Ruhullah Mehdi has asked the district administration Srinagar to book immediately the non-local medical student for his blasphemous social media post about Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
He said the mere suspension of the erring student is not enough.
Government Medical College Srinagar has already suspended the offender and has formed an in house committee to probe the matter.
Medical students at Government Medical College Srinagar staged a protest demanding immediate action after a non-local student uploaded a blasphemous post about the Prophet (PBUH).

He added: “These repeated offenses cannot be tolerated in any civilized society. We give due respect to the religious figures of other religions and we expect the people of other religions to be equally civilised.”
“The Srinagar administration should take immediate action and book this offender immediately under law. A mere suspension of the student is not enough,” the MP from Srinagar constituency said.
