Curfews mar students’ academic career: Rehmani
Srinagar, Oct 14: The Peoples’ Freedom League chairman, Muhammad Farooq Rehmani has condemned re-imposing of curfew in Kashmir.
In a faxed statement, Rehmani said frequent curfews would only tell upon the economic condition of the people and mar the educational career of millions of students.
He said there was a conspiracy to keep masses away from education as the modern world was not going to recognize any illiterate or semi-literate nation on earth and certainly faith, future, and bread of these unfortunate people would lurk in danger.
Rehmani urged the United Nation’s Education and Health Council and OIC to prevail on India and prevent it from marring career of the Kashmiri students whose schools, colleges and universities today present a dark picture in comparison to 1980s. He said although rich and influential people send their children abroad for education, but where the sons of poor, unheard people and political victims would go?.
