Officials at the high commission have been advised to “make arrangements for education of their wards outside Pakistan” from the academic session that begins in August.
Meanwhile, in Islamabad, the Pakistan foreign office said, “This is an informal, internal administrative arrangement we were informed of two months back”.
The Bar members also described the visit of Home Minister of India to Kashmir as an “eye wash, just to mislead” the worldwide community in believing that the Indian Government is very much concerned about the Kashmiri people, “which they are not”, a statement issued by Bar said this afternoon.
Another reason cited was the restriction on the free movement of the Indian students.
Leader of opposition in Lok Sabha, Mallikarjun Kharge said that Pakistan’s Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, who said that Kashmir would one day become a part of Pakistan, would never be come true as Kashmir is an integral part of India.
According to the recent decision, over 60 schoolchildren of the Indian officials in Pakistan would not go to school from the next quarter.
Swaraj had also lashed out at Pakistan for glorifying the killing of Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani. Officials who joined the mission after June 2015 were not allowed to take their children with them from India. Most of diplomats serving in Islamabad have their children attend the same school.
“Once the majority of the people of Kashmir have voted for joining either Pakistan or India the whole world will accept this verdict of the Kashmiri people”, he said. At one such event on Sunday, the Mumbai attack accused and JuD chief Hafiz Saeed announced that he will seek Indian visas for a JuD team, which planned to visit Kashmir. Any trip outside Islamabad needed consent from Pakistani foreign office.
After a blast at a short distance from the American School in 2009, the children of foreign diplomats stopped going to school for some time.
