India-Pakistan Match: JKSA advises Kashmiri students to refrain from posting provocative statements

STC NEWS DESK
SRINAGAR, SEPTEMBER 14 (STC): Jammu and Kashmir Students Association (JKSA) here on Saturday has issued an advisory in the wake of upcoming India – Pakistan Asia Cup cricket match urging Kashmiri students across the country to refrain posting provocative posts on social media platform.

The Association National Convenor, Nasir Khuehami, in a statement issued to media has emphasized that students should treat the match as just another sporting event and avoid any actions that might lead to unnecessary complications. “We have urged Kashmiri students studying across the country to stay focused on their education and career, which is the primary reason they have traveled far from their home state of Jammu and Kashmir,” he stated. The Association has also reminded students of the immense sacrifices their families have made fathers who have worked tirelessly, brothers who have taken loans, sisters who have sold jewelry, and mothers who pray relentlessly for their well-being.

He asserted that, due to past India-Pakistan cricket matches, dozens of students have been detained, arrested, summoned, or booked for their social media activity or involvement in heated debates. Such incidents have led to serious academic and legal consequences, impacting their education and future prospects.
Khuehami further said, “We strongly advise students to stay away from social media discussions, debates, or any form of online engagement that could escalate into controversy or indiscipline at their institutions. They should enjoy the game with a true sportsman spirit and avoid engaging in unnecessary conflicts.”
Khuehami reiterated that sports should promote unity, peace, and camaraderie rather than division and hostility.
