Union minister Prakash Javadekar, on Wednesday, said that no Kashmiri student had been assaulted following the Pulwama terror attack. He also said that there is no threat for students from Kashmir studying in various institutions in the country.

While addressing the media on “Operation Digital Board” – a government initiative to leverage technology in order to boost quality education in the country – the minister was asked about the claims of Kashmiri students being victimized.

In wake of the Pulwama terror attack, several Kashmiri students from different cities across the country have been slapped with sedition charges for allegedly supporting the terror attack on the social media. Also, two colleges in Dehradun have decided not to admit those from Kashmir, while many students have been claiming that they are living in a state of fear.
