ISLAMABAD – Pakistan has strongly deplored the so-called “Public Notice”issued by the University Grants Commission of India and the All IndiaCouncil for Technical Education, advising Indian students not to seekhigher education in Pakistan and warning them of being denied employment incase they choose to do so.
Foreign Office in a statement said that the tone of “Public Notice” is notonly threatening towards the students, it also reeks of tyrannicalauthoritarianism. It is regrettable that driven by its incurable obsessionwith Pakistan, India is unabashedly coercing the students in order to deterthem from pursuing quality education of their choice.
FO spokesperson Asim Iftikhar said this has further exposed the BJP-RSScombine’s deep-seated ideological animus and chronic hostility towardsPakistan. It is deplorable that as part of its mission “Hindu Rashtra,” theIndian government has resorted to such moves in order to stokehyper-nationalism in the country.
He said we have sought clarification from the Indian government withreference to the Public Notice.
