APHC leadership strongly condemns Indian advisory to Kashmiri students not to travel to Pakistan for pursuing higher education

SRINAGAR, May 11 (SABAH): All Parties Hurriyat Conference leadership has strongly condemned Indian advisory to Kashmiri students not to travel to Pakistan for pursuing higher education.

The APHC leadership has termed the decision as conspiracy to deprive

Kashmiris from education. It said that India has always been trying to keep Kashmiris backward and uneducated so that they will not be able to raise voice against Indian exploitation and oppression. The APHC leadership said that Kashmiris are not only denied education in Kashmir and Indian institutions but are also denied opportunities to travel in other countries. This is a well-thought-out conspiracy to deprive Kashmiris of the government jobs and jobs in private sector, the leadership added. It said that Kashmiri Muslims employees are terminated from the government departments with the evil intentions to replace and accommodate non-Kashmiri Hindus and change the demography of Muslim dominated Kashmir.

The APHC leadership said that large scale unemployment in IIOJK resulted in depression of Kashmiri youth. It maintained that India is not only brutalizing Kashmiris for demanding basic right of self-determination but is also busy in economic exploitation of Kashmiri Muslims as well as banning their studies to punish them for raising voice and demanding their basic rights.

Stating that Kashmiris have been deprived of all basic rights and needs, the leadership impressed upon the UN and other international institutions to take cognisance of the situation and pressurize India to shun inhuman practices in IIOJK.
