The University of Hyderabad chapter of student organisation, Students Islamic Organisation, has sparked a major controversy with one of its Facebook posts "remembering Afzal Guru".

Just five days before the Pulwama terror attack and simmering tension across the country, SIO's Facebook post has invited the wrath of many right wing outfits.

The post quotes a part of the Supreme Court verdict on Afzal Guru's hanging, which talks about the "collective conscience" that would be satisfied if he is hanged.

The most controversial part of the post was, however, the group using the hashtags #RememberingAfzalGuru and #SmashCollectiveConscience. Multiple leaders of the right-wing student organisation, ABVP took to social media to condemn the post and questioned the group as to why it took them days to condemn the Pulwama attack.

When question on how the organisation can justify the usage of the #RememberingAfzalGuru, a person called Faseeh who identifies himself as the president of the Students Islamic Organisation, shockingly went onto say, ' What is the problem with that'.

Speaking to India Today TV, ABVP president in the university, Abhishek said that ABVP strongly condemns such post and demands an explanation.

This comes even as tension runs high across the country in the aftermath of the Pulwama terror attack on February 14 in which 40 CRPF jawans were killed.

Several Kashmiri students across the country have been at the receiving end of a backlash from elements calling for revenge.
