‘High level team be deputed to different institutions’
Kashmir Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) Friday questioned the government’s silence over the harassment of Kashmiri students in Jammu engineering colleges.
In a statement KCCI KCCI president Mushtaq Ahmad Wani said, “The keen interest taken by Dr. Nirmal Singh, the Deputy Chief Minister of Jammu & Kashmir in regard to sorting out the problem of NIT Srinagar and at the same time adopting a quiet attitude vis-a-vis harassment caused to Kashmiri students at Jammu professional institutes is baffling and if the things are allowed to unfold in the manner reported in the press, it will have repercussions felt all over causing great harm to the peace and economy of the state as a whole,” the KCCI President expressed his grave concern about the intimidation and harassment caused to the Kashmir students in various engineering institutions situated in Jammu division of the State as reported by a section of media.
He said the Kashmir Chamber of Commerce & Industry (Inc) feels it to be its moral duty to seek peace to be maintained and the disruptive forces kept at bay and therefore urge the State Government to not only ensure peace and safety of students in the educational Institutions within the State, but appropriate measures be taken to safeguard the life, and academic future of Kashmiri students studying in Rajasthan which is otherwise in ‘peril’, after the university of Rajasthan has suspended them from further studies in the University.
Wani said the Chamber seeks immediate deputation of a high level team to different professional institutions/colleges and universities to enquire and assess the untoward situation, faced by the Kashmiri students now and then reported by print media, so that safety of their life and leisure with studies is reassured by the government.
