Independent MLA Langate Er Rasheed while accusing PM Narendra Modi of diverting attention from J&K dispute has said that PM’s efforts to create wedge and confusion between various sections of society in Jammu & Kashmir has no takers and are sure to fail like all previous designs.
In a statement issued here, Rasheed said, “PM’s claims that his intervention through village Panchayat heads has facilitated the huge participation of students in board exams, are far away from the reality. There was nobody opposing conducting of exams in Kashmir, the irony is that Prime Minister doesn’t even know the fact that these Panchayats cease to exist and have already completed their term.”
“This shows non-seriousness of Prime Minister besides many other things,” he said, “Had Govt of India been truly sincere to promote education and other related activities in Kashmir, it would have freed prestigious institutes including a complex of Agricultural college at Wadoora and Cricket Stadium of Baramulla from the occupation of security forces.”
Rasheed said that PM Modi should have a moral courage to salute those brave hearts who were hit by bullets but still participated in exams. “There are countless proofs to show that it is Indian state which has been trying to politicise education. Can Modi deny that fate of thousands of Kashmiri students studying in India, only for the reason that GOI doesn’t allow establishing prestigious institutions within Kashmir, is always uncertain and Kashmiris have been frequently receiving their coffins as ultra-nationalist right wing forces attack them wherever they want.”
Rasheed alleged that a student namely Tawseef Ahmad Peer from Dewar Lolab has become the latest victim of India’s “bureaucratic terrorism” as he was forced to commit suicide by the college management.
Rasheed asked, “May PM Modi cite a reason why two kids of a victim of Badrah Payeen (Langate) incident, were rusticated from the renowned school (Sarhad English Medium Pune) after army had owned them to provide the children of victim lady better education and to show their regret over the incident. The two kids of the victim mother were owned only to dilute the issue and delay the justice as Shiv Sena leader Raj Thakray himself visited the school and forced the children back to Kashmir, calling them children of anti nationals,”
