JKSA issues advisory to Kashmiri students

The Jammu and Kashmir Students Association (JKSA) on Wednesday condemned the terror attack in Pahalgam and released an advisory for Kashmiri students studying in different states, asking them to avoid engaging in political conversations or posting sensitive content on social media platforms as such actions could lead a backlash or cause a harm.

"No cause, no ideology can ever justify such barbarity. ... Terror has no religion, no justification—it must be condemned in the strongest possible terms and countered with unity, resolve, and justice. This tragedy has shaken us all, and we, too, mourn this heartbreaking loss," PTI quoted JKSA national president Ummar Jamal as saying.

Jamal said the Association has set-up a dedicated response team to offer quick assistance and coordinate with local authorities whenever necessary. It has released a set of helpline numbers including 9149676014, 7006922829, 8825005327, 9906299199, 9602689622, 6006169477, 8082602445, 9149500623, 6006333584, 7028642004.

National Convenor of the Association Nasir Khuehami urged students not to go out unless necessary, avoid public gatherings, and stay cautious. “We appeal to all Kashmiri students to maintain calm, not indulge in political debates or provocative social media activity, and to avoid venturing out unnecessarily. The current situation is volatile and may escalate, posing a serious risk to your safety," he said.
