 "Ensure Kashmiri students don't face problem in AMU: J&K to Javadekar")
Jammu and Kashmir Governor Satya Pal Malik on Tuesday asked Minister for Human Resource Development Prakash Javadekar to ensure that studies of Kashmiri students at the AMU are not disrupted.
The governor spoke to the HRD minister and Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) Vice-Chancellor Tariq Mansoor in this regard, an official spokesman said.
Malik urged them to ensure that the issue is resolved at the earliest and there is no disruption of studies of the Kashmiri students and they are allowed to continue their studies in a safe and secure academic environment, the spokesman added.
The governor's move comes in the wake AMU authorities suspending two Kashmir students for offering funeral prayers in absentia for slain Hizbul Mujahideen commander Manaan Bashir Wani.
Wani was a PhD scholar at AMU till January, before he joined the militant ranks. He was killed in an encounter with security forces on October 11.
