SRINAGAR, Nov 3: Expre-ssing concern over the burning of schools in Kashmir, All Parties Sikh Coordination Committee (APSCC) has asked people of the Valley to come forward and ensure that no further damage is done to any school in Kashmir.
In a statement here, the APSCC chairman Jagmohan Singh Raina while condemning the burning of schools said that it highly unfortunate that news of gutting of one or two schools in Valley are received on daily basis. Raina said that it is the responsibility of every Kashmiri to ensure security of the educational institutions in the valley.
Raina said that separatist leaders like Syed Ali Shah Geelani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Mohammad Yasin Malik should ask the people on ground to keep watch on anti-social elements which are out to cause irreparable damage to education sector in Kashmir. He said that separatist leaders should also keep a watch on people who are stoning cars, trucks, hospital vehicles, essential commodity vehicles and media people and their cars during the relaxed period of protest calendar.
“Sikh community is concerned about their children who have not gone through their books ever since the start of present uprising. Both majority and minority (Sikh) children have sacrificed their valuable time of education and it is imminent that the children would lose one year of their education. This coupled with burning of schools is all set to lead the future generation of Kashmir towards illiteracy which Kashmiris won’t allow,” said the APSCC chairman.
