Mehbooba Mufti Urges Amit Shah, CMs to Ensure Safety of Kashmiri Students Amid Rising Fear
Jammu and Kashmir People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Chief Mehbooba Mufti on Monday urged Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Chief Ministers of all states to intervene and ensure the safety of Kashmiri students across India until they can safely return home.
Taking to social media platform X, Mehbooba said she had been receiving distressed calls from Kashmiri students who are living in fear due to the ongoing unrest.
“Some institutions have postponed exams and advised students to return home until normalcy is restored, while others have not,” she wrote. “Urge @AmitShah and Chief Ministers of all states to intervene and ensure the safety of all students until they can safely return home,” she added.
Mehbooba further called for action against those spreading communal hate online, emphasizing the need for a strong message to maintain peace and harmony.
“Additionally, a strong message must be sent to those spreading communal hate on social media. Such divisive forces must be identified and dealt with firmly to maintain peace and harmony,” she said.
The appeal comes amid heightened concerns over the safety of students following the recent unrest in the country.
