Srinagar: The students on Tuesday continued to protest against the scheduled exams slated to commence from mid November.
The students chanting slogans like, ‘we want justice’ were demanding deferment of exams.
Hundreds of students took to streets in Central Kashmir Beerwah area of Budgam district and Sharad area of South Kashmir’s Kulgam district.
The protesting students while talking to KNS said that they are disturbed both mentally and physically while their syllabus is still incomplete. “How is it possible for us to appear in the examination during such kind of circumstances,” the students said.
They said that if the government is really concerned about the future of students then they should defer the exams till the students won’t complete their syllabus. “With the current uprising in Valley, the students were not able to complete syllabus. We must be given chance at least till March to complete our syllabus so that we will prepare ourselves to appear in exams,” the students demanded.
Meanwhile, the students from Kulgam district during protest also appealed the state dispensation to defer the planned exams till March 2017. “We are not fully prepared for the exams. The government should feel the sufferings of students,” the protesting students said.
Zameer Ahmad, one of the protesters told KNS that, “If the government won’t reconsider their decision then they will attempt suicide for which the government will be held responsible.”
He said that the decision to defer examinations should to be taken at earliest as it is in the interest of thousands of students in Valley. (KNS)
