Jammu and Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (DFP) has voiced its serious concern over the Indian advisory banning Kashmiri students from pursuing higher education abroad, and termed it a deliberate move on part of the Indian government to keep Kashmiris away from education.

The DFP acting chairman, Mehmood Ahmed Saghar, in a statement issued in Islamabad on Thursday described the Indian higher education authorities’ notification as a conspiracy to keep the Kashmiris backward and uneducated. He said that after snatching from students their right to seek education in Kashmir and inside India, the BJP government was now hell bent on closing doors for Kashmiris to travel to Pakistan to pursue higher education despite the fact that students from SAARC countries travel freely from one country to another to materialize their right to education.

The BJP government he said was punishing Kashmiri students by denying them the opportunity to travel to Pakistan as it portrays every Kashmiri visiting the country either to pursue education or see their relatives as a threat. Kashmiri Muslims, he said, were being victimized for their firm support to the ongoing struggle for right to self-determination.

Saghar appealed to the international institutions to take cognisance of the situation and pressurize the Indian government to shun its inhuman practices and persecution of Kashmiris in the occupied territory.

Meanwhile, the DFP leader also expressed his concern over the unilateral court proceedings initiated by a Delhi court against JKLF Chairman Muhammad Yasin Malik and termed the one-sided trial, which is against the basic principles of justice.

APHC leaders Abdul Samad Inqilabi in a message from a Jammu jail and Maulana Zahid Rashidi in a statement in Srinagar categorically condemned the so-called advisory placing travel ban on Kashmiri students to pursue higher education in Pakistan.
