Ruhullah urges MEA to ensure safe return of Kashmiri students from Bangladesh

Srinagar, July 19: Amid unrest in Bangladesh, the Member of Parliament from central Kashmir’s Srinagar Aga Ruhullah on Friday appealed Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) for safe passage and return of Kashmiri students studying in Bangladesh.

“Dear @MEAIndia, please ensure the safe passage and return of Kashmiri students from Bangladesh amidst the ongoing unrest. Parents of these students are extremely worried as there is no or little communication,” MP Ruhullah in a post on X said.

Notably the protests in Bangladesh have been driven by demands for reform of the country’s quota system for civil service jobs, which reserves positions for specific groups, including descendants of those who participated in the 1971 War of Independence against Pakistan.
