“This vendetta against our students by Indians is shameful and is intolerable and unacceptable. India is sending Kashmiri students for various courses outside state and in bargain demand killing of their sentiment. Indians must understand that emotions are natural and cannot be doctored.”

Dr Hassan said: “Kashmiris have to say no to such courses which are at the cost of their national cause as it is bigger than our lives. This Vengeance against Kashmiris by Indians is safe to conclude that Kashmiris are not safe in India. Indians should change their colonial mindset. Indians should acknowledge and realize the historical fact that Kashmir is a dispute and has been illegally occupied by Indian state.”

He added that: “Indians must know that their state in order to continue their illegal occupation have crossed all human rights violations in Kashmir. Kashmiris outside state represent pain and sufferings ofKashmiris and have an obligation to protest against illegal occupation of Indian state. Indians need to lay emphasize on their policy makers to give Kashmiris their right of self determination which is in the interest of Indian state and south east Asia at large.”
