Former Chief Minister and National Conference (NC) vice president Omar Abdullah on Friday expressed fears that young students from Kashmir may be targeted across the country due to hate peddled against the entire ‘Kashmiri nation’, while making reference to recent Bollywood movie The Kashmir Files.
“If any student is attacked or harmed in any State in India, the Centre and that State government have to take the blame for it. A perception is being created that all Kashmiri Muslims do not stand other faiths. I fear that the hatred propagated may have consequences for young Kashmiri students studying outside, who are just in their 20s and were not even born in 1990. They are being made vulnerable,” Mr. Abdullah said on the death anniversary of senior NC leader Wali Mohammad Itoo, who was assassinated in 1990 by gunmen.
