Srinagar, Apr 24: In view of the growing incidents of harassment targeting Kashmiri students, businessmen across various parts of India, the Kashmir Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCC&I) has strongly condemned such actions and taken up the matter with Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi, Home Minister Mr. Amit Shah, Lieutenant Governor Mr Manoj Sinha, and Chief Minister Mr. Omar Abdullah. KCC&I is deeply concerned about the violence against Kashmiris and has appealed for urgent intervention.
In official communications addressed to the Prime Minister, Home Minister, Lieutenant Governor, and Chief Minister, KCC&I has requested that the Central Government coordinate with all concerned state governments and union territories to ensure effective protection for Kashmiris across India.
Reports indicate that Kashmiris residing in other states have faced intimidation and threats, with some receiving ultimatums to vacate their residences. Such developments have created anxiety and fear within the Kashmiri community.
KCC&I has called for urgent directives to safeguard the safety, security, and dignity of Kashmiri students, businesspeople, and residents living outside Jammu & Kashmir, preventing harassment and forced displacement.
The Chamber has urged both Central and State governments to implement immediate protective measures for Kashmiris living outside the region to uphold their rights and safety.
