BJP Leader Shabeer Zargar Urges Union Government to Ensure Safety of Kashmiri Students Across India
Srinagar, April 24 : Shabeer Zargar, Senior BJP Leader North Kashmir and Convenor & Program Incharge, appeals to the Union Government to take immediate steps to ensure the safety of Kashmiri students studying across the country.
It is deeply disturbing to witness a rising trend of harassment, bullying, and physical assault faced by Kashmiri students in several parts of India. Many have been unfairly targeted, beaten, and even forced to vacate their accommodations simply for being Kashmiri. This is not only unacceptable, but it also contradicts the very spirit of our nation—unity in diversity.
What is the difference between those who mercilessly killed innocent people in Pahalgam and those who, under the guise of nationalism, attack innocent students merely based on their identity? Violence in any form, by any group, must be condemned unequivocally.
I request the Hon’ble Home Minister and the concerned authorities to issue strict directives to state governments and educational institutions to protect all students, especially those from Kashmir. Let us not alienate the very youth who are striving to be a part of India's future.
Violence is not patriotism. Let us stand together, in the true spirit of India, he added
