J&K Students Association Seeks MEA’s Intervention to Rescue Kashmiri Youth Faizan Rasool Held Hostage in Myanmar

by
Jammu and Kashmir Students Association

The Jammu and Kashmir Students Association on Sunday has written to Union External Affairs Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar, seeking immediate intervention in the case of Faizan Rasool, a 28-year-old youth from Safakadal, Srinagar, who has fallen victim to human trafficking and is currently being held hostage in Myanmar.

In its letter to the External Affairs Minister, the National Convenor of the Association, Nasir Khuehami, said that Faizan was lured by false promises of employment in Thailand. He, along with a friend, traveled to Bangkok in search of better opportunities. However, their journey turned into a harrowing ordeal when they were forced to undertake a 15-hour bus journey, cross a river, and were subsequently taken into Myanmar, a region notorious for human trafficking, forced labor, and organized crime.

Now held captive, Faizan’s abductors have demanded a ransom of ₹4.5 lakh for his release, threatening dire consequences if the amount is not paid. His family, already struggling financially, is devastated and fears for his life. His mother, holding an old photograph of her son, pleads, “He left home with dreams in his eyes… now we don’t even know if he’s alive.” His father, his voice trembling, adds, “We are helpless. If the government does not act, we may never see our son again,” the letter reads.

Their anguish is compounded by the fact that this is not an isolated incident. Recently, another Kashmiri youth, also named Faizan, returned home after his family paid a similar ransom, leaving them burdened with debt. These cases highlight a deeply troubling pattern where young Kashmiris, desperate for employment, are being lured by traffickers, only to be exploited or held captive for ransom. Such incidents point to a growing trend of human traffickers preying on young Kashmiris seeking employment abroad, Khuehami said.

In its appeal, the Association urged the Union External Affairs Minister to intervene through diplomatic channels and engage with Myanmar authorities to locate and secure Faizan Rasool’s release. It called for immediate coordination between Indian diplomatic missions in Thailand and Myanmar to expedite negotiations and ensure his safe return.

The association has also requested law enforcement agencies to take decisive action against trafficking networks targeting Indian youth. It has stressed the need for a strong travel advisory to prevent further exploitation of job-seeking individuals. “Every passing day increases the risk to Faizan Rasool’s life. With traffickers growing bolder and families left powerless, we appeal to the Union External Affairs Minister to act swiftly and decisively before another innocent life is lost,” the association stated.

Khuehami urged the Union External Affairs Minister to prioritize this case on humanitarian grounds and ensure that all diplomatic channels are explored to facilitate Faizan’s safe return. The association expressed hope that the Ministry of External Affairs will act promptly, ensuring that all necessary diplomatic measures are taken to bring Faizan back home safely.

“The Indian government has always stood by its citizens abroad, ensuring justice and their safe return in times of crisis. We believe that under the leadership of Dr. S. Jaishankar, the Ministry of External Affairs will take swift and effective measures to resolve this issue,” the association added.

JKSA Hails ₹50 Crore Allocation for National Law University in J&K, Calls It a Historic Move

by
National Law University in J&K

The Jammu and Kashmir Students Association (JKSA) on Friday expressed its gratitude to Chief Minister Omar Abdullah for allocating ₹50 crore to establish a National Law University (NLU) in the region. This decision marks a historic step toward advancing legal education in Jammu and Kashmir, which has long lacked a specialized institution of this stature, unlike other states that already have premier NLUs.

JKSA National President Ummar Jamal in a statement welcomed the move, emphasizing the urgent need for an NLU in J&K. He stated that the association had been advocating for this for years and had submitted a memorandum to the Chief Minister just a few months ago, urging the government to take decisive action. He lauded Omar Abdullah’s for addressing this long-pending demand.

He further highlighted that the absence of a dedicated law university has forced aspiring law students to migrate to other states, leading to significant financial burdens and limiting their opportunities. With the establishment of an NLU, J&K will finally be on par with other states that already house premier legal institutions. This move will not only improve the quality of legal education but will also nurture a new generation of lawyers, judges, and policymakers from within the region, fostering a strong legal ecosystem.

Jamal stressed that the allocation of ₹50 crore will help create a world-class institution equipped with state-of-the-art infrastructure, modern teaching methodologies, and access to top legal scholars and professionals. He pointed out that existing law programs at the University of Kashmir and the University of Jammu lack advanced facilities and practical exposure, often relying on outdated teaching methods that emphasize theoretical knowledge while neglecting crucial practical skills such as mooting, debating, and internships. The establishment of an NLU will bridge this gap, ensuring that students receive a comprehensive legal education that prepares them for the evolving demands of the profession.

He said that, Association has played a crucial role in advocating for this initiative through sustained efforts, including media publications, opinion pieces, and public statements in platforms and National Publications. The association has consistently highlighted the necessity of an NLU in J&K and has engaged in policy discussions to push for its establishment. The association now urges the government to expedite the process, ensuring that the allocated funds are utilized effectively and that the university becomes operational at the earliest.

JKSA National Spokesperson, Farhat Riyaz, in a statement said that establishment of the NLU will be a transformational step in positioning Jammu and Kashmir as a hub for legal scholarship and research. It will provide aspiring law professionals with the necessary resources, faculty, and opportunities to compete at national and international levels.

It will contribute to strengthening the region’s judicial and governance systems by producing well-trained legal minds, she added.
