J&K Students Association Writes To PM Modi Seeking Safety For Indian Medical Students Amid Bangladesh Protests

The Jammu and Kashmir Students Association (JKSA) has called on Prime Minister Narendra Modi to intervene for the safety of Indian medical students in Bangladesh. Growing unrest and recent violence have left around 9,000 students, including over 4,000 from the Kashmir Valley, in a state of fear.

The plea follows the death and lynching of a student leader in Bangladesh, which has heightened concerns among Indian students and their families. Many are now confined to hostels, with movement restricted and some advised to conceal their identities for safety. The uncertainty has left students and their relatives in constant distress.

The JKSA has urged the Ministry of External Affairs and the Indian High Commission in Dhaka to raise the issue with Bangladeshi authorities. If conditions deteriorate further, the association has requested that the government consider evacuating students back to India. No specific cities in Bangladesh have yet been reported as directly affected by riots targeting Indian medical students. The group emphasised that India has a history of supporting its citizens abroad during crises. They stressed that the future doctors should not face unnecessary risks and that their protection must remain a top priority.

The JKSA’s request highlights the urgent need for action to ensure the well-being of Indian medical students in Bangladesh. With thousands affected, the situation demands close monitoring and potential government intervention if risks escalate.
