HUNDREDS OF students representing various bodies, besides political and non-political organisations, jointly took to the streets and intensified protest demonstrations over shifting of the Central University from Jammu to Kashmir. Raising anti-government slogans, the students of Government College for Women took out a procession demanding setting up of the Central University at Samba where the land has already been identified for. "The government should consider our demand. The University cannot be shifted to Kashmir when the Central Government has allotted it to Jammu," said Preeti Choudhary, President, Akhil Bhartiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), Women's Wing. She however alleged discrimination against the people of Jammu and said that the policies on which the government was working was meant only to appease the Kashmir region.
Meanwhile, hundreds of students of Degree College Samba under the banners of various organisations, including the Jammu Justice Movement (JJM), Jammu Joint Student Federation (JJSF) and ABVP jointly protested against the government and blocked the Jammu-Pathankot National Highway. Students from different groups this morning blocked the busiest Jammu-Pathankot National Highway, thus bringing vehicular movement to a standstill for around one hour. However, students dispersed later after shouting anti-government slogans and demanding setting up of a Central University in Jammu. “We did not demand two IIM institutes, which have exclusively been allotted to Kashmir, then why two Central Universities as Government of India has announced it only for Jammu,” alleged students who added that the State government was adopting a discriminatory attitude in a bid to create a wedge between the two regions.
