Islamists trend #IStandWithAbrarSir after Jamia admin suspends professor over failing non-Muslim students for supporting CAA

Islamists took to Twitter to trend ‘#IStandWithAbrarSir after Jamia Millia Islamia University administration suspended him over his tweet where he had said that he failed 15 non-Muslim students for supporting Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA).

Totally unjust and shameful action by @jmiu_official#IStandWithAbrarSir https://t.co/kI51jHUUfi

Some even tried to pass off Abrar’s claim as ‘sarcasm’.

This spineless and benighted decision goes against the Principle of Natural Justice. Suspending a virtuous teacher based on reports from a pernicious journal is totally unacceptable.
Have a basic understanding of Sarcasm, u idiots.#IStandWithAbrarSir

Many were also upset that Jamia administration had responded to a report of OpIndia which broke the story.

Deekh mat jana warna pakad k sarcasm samjaenge tum ko.
Matlab bas boss logon ko khush karna hai. Dho ne bhi dete ho ya chaat lete ho usse pehle hi? #istandwithabrarsir
