Islamabad
The Indian authorities stopped Kashmiri students, studying in Pakistan, from flying to Dubai en route to Islamabad despite having valid travel documents.
Three such Kashmiri medical students who were travelling to Pakistan through Dubai, in a media interview, said that they were stopped by the Indian authorities at Delhi airport on the pretext of having no NOCs from the Indian Home Ministry.
Earlier, last month, the authorities stopped hundreds of Kashmiri students at Attari in Indian Punjab when they tried to enter Pakistan.
The students had all travel documents.
This time, the students tried to enter Pakistan via Dubai, but were stopped by Indian authorities at Delhi airport and were asked to get NOCs from the Indian Home Ministry.
The students were denied travelling to Pakistan by the Modi-led fascist Indian government in a bid to ruin their careers and add misery to the hapless students and their families.
Earlier on March 18, protest broke out at the Wagah border on the Indian side after dozens of Kashmiris, including students and travellers, were barred by the Indian authorities from visiting Pakistan despite possessing all travel and other legal documents.
Hundreds of people, including Kashmiris, had converged near the Wagah to cross over to Pakistan on visas.
However, dozens of Kashmiris, including students, travellers and elderly who were scheduled to visit to study or meet their relatives in Pakistan and Azad Jammu and Kashmir were stopped and disallowed by the Indian authorities from crossing over.
The travellers held demonstrations against the action of the Indian authorities.—TLTP
