ISLAMABAD: (HRNW) Pakistan has condemned the notice issued by India advising students not to seek higher education in Pakistan.
India’s University Grants Commission (UGC) and All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) issued a public notice Friday advising Indian students not to travel to Pakistan for pursuing higher education as those degrees wouldn’t be recognised in India, according to news agency ANI.
In a press release, the Foreign Office said the tone of the notice was not only “threatening towards the students [but] also reeks of tyrannical authoritarianism.”
“It is regrettable that driven by its incurable obsession with Pakistan, the Government of India is unabashedly coercing the students in order to deter them from pursuing quality education of their choice,” reads the press release.
The foreign office added that the notice has exposed the BJP-RSS hostility towards Pakistan.
Pakistan has also asked India for clarification on this issue.
“Pakistan reserves the right to take appropriate measures in response to this openly discriminatory and inexplicable action by India,” said the FO.
