The leadership of Jammu and Kashmir cutting across political ideologies needs to come together to ensure that students' education remains unaffected in the prevailing unrest in Kashmir, the CPI(M) said today.
The appeal by the Communist Party of India (Marxist) comes even as Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti today called on Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi to apprised him of the overall situation in J and K, stressing the need to end the cycle of violence by addressing alienation among the youth.
CPI(M) leader and MLA M Y Tarigami said, "We have a short academic session in Kashmir already which is further shrunk by public holidays, strike calls and curfews."
"Education remains an indispensable social institution and remains to be a single most potent tool of development around the globe," Tarigami said, adding, "can't all of us think to find and devise some mechanism so that education doesn't suffer due to the ongoing unrest?"
