SRINAGAR: President of the People’s Democratic Front (PDF) and former Minister Hakeem Mohammad Yaseen on Tuesday urged the Government of India and the Ministry of External Affairs to take immediate steps to bring back students from Jammu and Kashmir who remain stranded in Iran and parts of West Asia amid the prevailing uncertainty in the region.
In a statement issued here, Yaseen expressed serious concern over the safety and well-being of the students, stating that many families in Kashmir are passing through immense anxiety as their children remain stuck in a foreign country. He said that despite the passage of nearly ten days, no concrete action has been taken so far to ensure the safe return of these students, except repeated assurances from authorities.
“The parents of these students are extremely worried and are constantly seeking information about the safety of their wards. Unfortunately, nothing substantial has been done on the ground so far,” Yaseen said. PDP President said that the government must treat the issue as a humanitarian matter and take urgent steps to evacuate the stranded students without any further delay.
He stressed that the authorities should arrange special flights and necessary logistical support to ensure the safe and timely return of the students to their homes. Yaseen further said that the students studying abroad represent the future of the nation, and the government has a moral responsibility to safeguard their lives and well-being during such challenging circumstances.
He added that many of the stranded students belong to modest families in Jammu and Kashmir who are already under severe mental stress due to the uncertain situation. “The government must act swiftly and responsibly. Mere assurances are not enough when the lives and safety of our youth are at stake,” he said. Yaseen also urged the administration to establish proper communication channels with the families of the stranded students so that they are kept informed about the steps being taken for their safe evacuation.
He reiterated that the immediate and safe return of these students should be treated as a top priority, considering the prevailing tensions in the region and the growing concerns among their families.
