Sikh group concerned as students who returned home after assault on Kashmiris fined

Srinagar, Mar 8 (UNI) Expressing concern over the imposition of fine on Kashmiri students, who had to return to the valley from different parts of the country following harassment and assault on them post Pulwama attack, All Parties Sikh Coordination Committee (APSCC) said that instead of getting sympathy from the college authorities the students are being asked to pay extra sum as fine.
“It is highly disturbing that the Kashmiri students are being asked to pay fine after they joined their respective institutions,” APSCC chairman Jagmohan Singh Raina said in a statement issued here on Friday.
“No student in the world would leave his studies midway. Same is possible only in case of dire emergency. Same happened with the students of Kashmir studying in different parts of India. They were forced to leave following threat to their lives. The authorities of these institutes should have been lenient towards the students, but that was not to be,” Mr Raina said.
