Singling out J-K students helps 'venemous' cause of separatist elements

The Congress on Monday termed as "reprehensible" the alleged targeting of students from Jammu and Kashmir in various parts of the country in the aftermath of the Pulwama terror attack and said singling out students from the state would only help the "venomous" cause of separatist elements.

According to media reports, several Kashmiris living outside the state claimed they were harassed and attacked after the terrorist attack in Pulwama district in which 40 CRPF men were killed.

Senior Congress leader Abhishek Manu Singhvi said: "The unprovoked attacks on the students of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh in different parts of the country are also reprehensible and unacceptable."
