JAMMU, Nov 27: The NSUI national president, Neeraj Kundan wrote an letter to Lt. Governor of Union Territory of J&K, regarding restoring internet services in the UT.
In the letter the NSUI leader said the disruption to services since August 5 this year has exacerbated an information blackout, stopped families from communicating, prevented people from accessing medical services, and disrupted the local economy. The International Human Rights law prohibits broad, indiscriminate, and indefinite restrictions on fundamental freedoms, including the right to free expression and to provide and receive information, it added,
The letter alleged restrictions are provoking anger, causing economic harm, and fueling rumors that are making a bad human rights situation even worse.
In a statement Neeraj Kundan raised a demand to restore internet services in J&K since the internet shutdown is depriving Kashmiri students who depend on mobile messaging apps or email access to their research activities. More than 5,000 students are unable to apply for NEET exams due to lack of resources. NSUI National president appealed the Central Government to look into this matter very seriously and take necessary actions to restore the internet services for beneficial of student community and research fraternity.
He warned that in case Government failed to restore the services the NSUI will hold a more aggressive protest against Central Government and will fight back to get the rights for the students of J&K.
