Control your emotions and resume classes, Minister tells J&K students
Srinagar, April 21: Jammu and Kashmir Education Minister Syed Altaf Bukhari on Saturday advised students protesting over the Kathua rape-murder case to control their emotions and resume their classes.
"After the Kathua incident, we gave the students a chance to vent their emotions. Students should control their emotions and now go back to their classes," the Minister told the media here.
The Minister said Kashmir cannot afford a generation of illiterates and urged everybody to help ensure that students resume academic activities.
He warned that if the present situation continued the state government would be forced to close down educational institutions. "The security of students is our paramount concern. That is why we close schools and colleges."
Kashmir has been in the throes of spiraling student protests in the past month or so to seek justice for the Kathua rape-murder victim whose body was found in Rasana village on January 10.

Heavy object suspected to have fallen from IAF aircraft damages house in Shivpuri district
Shivpuri (MP), Apr 25 (PTI): A heavy metal object suspected to have fallen from an Indian Air Force (IAF) aircraft caused severe damage to a house in Pichhore town of Madhya Pradesh on Friday but nobody was injured in the incident, police said.
An unidentified heavy object fell on the roof of the house belonging to Manoj Sagar, a teacher, around 11 am, eye witnesses said.
Two rooms in the house were completely damaged and debris fell on the car parked nearby, officials said.
Sagar was having food inside the house with his children and his wife was in the kitchen when the roof burst open with a loud explosion and an 8 to 10 feet deep pit was formed in the courtyard, they added.
Vibrations caused by the explosion were felt in neighbouring houses too, officials said.
Police rushed to the spot and cordoned off the area.
"A heavy metal object fell from the sky from an Air Force jet on the house of Manoj Sagar...due to which two outer rooms have been damaged. There were four members in the house, all are safe. Police and administration team is on the spot," said Shivpuri district Superintendent of Police Aman Singh Rathor in a social media post.
The incident was being investigated in coordination with the Air Force and other agencies, he added.
Sub Divisional Officer of Police Prashant Sharma, however, said where the object came from can be ascertained only after a probe.
It appeared to be "extremely solid" and had burn marks, he said. "The Gwalior airbase (of the IAF) has been contacted. Only after an expert team arrives from there, it can be confirmed what this object is and where it fell from," Sharma said.
Unidentified heavy metallic object fell on a house in Pichhore town of MP's Shivpuri district, badly damaging the terrace and 2 rooms of the house. The woman in the house suffered abrasion injury, but her husband and 2 kids are safe. @santwana99 @NewIndianXpress @jayanthjacob pic.twitter.com/i4upaO9XlY
