Jammu and Kashmir Congress president Ghulam Ahmad Mir Sunday wrote a letter to the Punjab chief minister Amarinder Singh and urged him to provide “safe and peaceful” atmosphere for students from Jammu and Kashmir.
In the letter, Mir expressed serious concern over alleged harassment of innocent Kashmiri students studying in different colleges and educational institutions in Punjab and emphasised that there must not be any kind of harassment to the students as it will affect their studies very badly and “force their return to their homes.”
Mir also sought action against those found involved in intimidating innocent students from J&K.
“Due to deteriorating situation in Kashmir, hundreds of students have preferred to study in neighboring states especially in Punjab to secure their future, but the harassment and unnecessary questioning will ruin their future,” the state Congress president wrote in the letter, and urged that students need to be provided with peaceful and secure atmosphere both in and outside educational institutions.
