Srinagar: Dozens of
Congress activists staged a demonstration in this Jammu and
Kashmir summer capital Wednesday against the alleged harassment of
Kashmiri students in Madhya Pradesh.
The protesters raised slogans like, "Down with the MP (Madhya
Pradesh) government", "Down with RSS (Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh)",
"Down with BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party)", "Stop harassing Kashmiri
students", as they burnt effigies in Press Enclave here.
"The RSS and the BJP are responsible for harassment of Kashmiri
students in Madhya Pradesh. We condemn this and demand an
immediate end to this," said Rashid Chowdhary, president of the
Jammu and Kashmir unit of National Students' Union of India (NSUI).
Many Kashmiri students seeking admissions to institutions in the
BJP-led Madhya Pradesh have alleged that they are being asked to
furnish character certificates issued by Jammu and Kashmir Police
before their applications are considered.
