In Srinagar, scores of students held protests in Mushtaq Enclave seeking justice for those who were killed and injured in forces actions since July 09, 2016. The students holding banners slammed education minister for closing his eyes on the “brutalities on civilians by men in uniform”.

While one group was yet to leave Press Colony, another group of female students marched on Residency Road seeking justice and resolution of Kashmir. They said that how come was it justified to ask students write their examination when the same government blinded over hundred people mostly students.

In uptown areas of Bhagat and Parray Pora – the private coaching hub of Kashmir – students took to streets to protest against the killings in the on-going uprising. They would not appear in exams till Kashmir’s freedom, the protests concluded.

The students raised pro-freedom and anti-India slogans and carried placards reading, “Stop innocent killings in Kashmir”.

“Stop doing politics on exam, Exam boycott, Justice for Insha,” read the placards. “We are ready to sacrifice future for the sake of freedom.”

Later police swung into action and dispersed them, reports said.

In North Kashmir’s Sopore town, scores of students held a protest rally against government policies announcing examination to be held in November.
