Digvijaya seeks PM intervention for Kashmiri scholar

NEW DELHI: Congress leader Digvijaya Singh today sought Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje’s intervention for the protection and rehabilitation of a Kashmiri student who left the premier BITS Pilani institute after being threatened and abused.

            “Kashmiri scholar leaves BITS Pilani after facing abuses. Sad. Would CM Rajasthan or PM intervene so that Hashim Sofi can be given protection so that he can continue his studies?” he said on Twitter.

            “Or he may be admitted in any Government college in J&K in the course which he was studying in BITS,” Singh said. (AGENCIES)
