Red Fort blast sparks backlash against Kashmiri students
After the tragic Red Fort blast in Delhi on November 10, which claimed 15 lives, Kashmiri students across India are facing threats, facing expulsions from accommodations, and even denied basic services.
With police linking suspects from Jammu and Kashmir to the attack—and arresting six people, including four doctors—tensions have risen sharply.
Many Kashmiris now find themselves under suspicion just because of where they're from.
Leaders urge protection and fair treatment
National Conference President Farooq Abdullah has called on Prime Minister Modi to make sure Kashmiris aren't unfairly targeted or harassed.
He reminded everyone that the criminal acts of a few individuals do not define the entire community, and highlighted how much Kashmiris contribute to India's culture.
Abdullah wants the government to step up and protect their rights during this tense time.
