National Conference on Tuesday lashed out at Education Minister, Naeem Akhtar for “arrogantly” asking the students to be prepared for exams on time.
“Naeem Akhtar has conveyed his abdication of responsibility. Students have lost out on school for more than 100 days,” the NC said in a statement issued this evening.
In a joint party statement issued from NC Headquarters in Srinagar, National Conference Provincial Youth President Salman Ali Sagar and Additional Spokesperson (Kashmir Province) Sarah Hayat Shah said the announcement has come despite all educational institutions in the valley being shut for more than three months now, it’s unfortunate that the Education Minister hasn’t said a word about thousands blinded, injured and countless arrested, most of them being students.
“The government should arrange tuitions for students so that a significant part of the syllabus is completed and they are also well prepared for their entrance examinations in the future,” said the joint statement.
“Despite knowing the ground realities, education minister seems to be trusting exams pup on students. The education minister is showing an unreasonable desire for revenge by scapegoating students of the valley. Why should students bear the brunt of Naeem Akhtar’s frustration? Government should postpone the exams scheduled in November in wake of the prevailing situation in the valley,” the NC leaders added.
