“We appeal to the agitationists of Kashmir Valley to allow reopening of the educational institutions so that the academic session of the students is not lost because of the agitation. There can be other ways to agitate and demand for redressing the grievances but to cause the indefinite closure of the educational institutions cannot be appreciated and will not be in the long-term interests of the students, therefore the educational institutions need to be allowed to function properly,” read the statement.
The leaders also appealed to the Central and state governments to enhance the compensation to Rs. five lakh plus government job to a family member of those killed in security forces firings or to Rs. ten lakh to those families which do not have any grown up member to take up a government job.
