Ahead of Indo-Pak T20 match, J&K Students Association issues advisory for Kashmiri students

Srinagar, Oct 22:  Ahead of the upcoming India-Pakistan clash in T20 World Cup on October 23, the Jammu and Kashmir Student Association (JKSA) has urged the students hailing from the Union territory and studying at different universities all over the nation to take the game in its spirit and stay away from posts on social media which might lead them into trouble. 

JKSA asking the students to take it as just another game and stay away from trouble. We have urged Kashmiri students studying at different universities all over the nation to have their priority set for their education and career for which they have travelled to different parts of the nation from their home state of Jammu and Kashmir," stated, JKSA. 

The students need to take sports as a game and stay away from social media posts during and after the match, which might create any kind of indiscipline at any institution across the country or land them in trouble. They should not get involved in unnecessary debates, discussions or social media chat and should enjoy the game with true sportsman spirit," JKSA appealed. 

The Political connotations and feelings attached to this game are very serious. So, Students should enjoy the game with true sprit of sportsman. The students must understand that by cheering for any particular team, they are putting themselves in a vulnerable position. Their social media posts and actions can land them in trouble. Students must work towards keeping themselves safe in their Varasties and accommodations and should think about their families back home. 
Games and sports are not just means of amusement but they teach us brotherhood and peace. These events must promote brotherhood and harmony, not violence.
