APHC chairman and Mirwaiz Umar Farooq on Wednesday condemned the government’s directive asking students from J&K not to take admission in educational institutions in Pakistan-administered Kashmir. “It is unfortunate politicization of education which violates the fundamental right of students to seek education anywhere on the globe. Besides it has puts the career of those studying there in jeopardy and uncertainty,” he said.
“Like students worldwide, Kashmiri students have every right to study anywhere they choose and barring them from seeking admission in educational institutions of Pakistan administered Kashmir which is part of entire J&K of which they are the state subjects make no sense,” he said.
“This is another regressive move adversely affecting the students of the state this time,” he said.
Mirwaiz urged those in power not to play politics with the career of Kashmiri students and take back this unreasonable diktat.
Mirwaiz further said that the suspension of cross LOC trade greatly affected the traders and those associated with it and the economy.
