He said that Students in Punjab despite completing 14 days quarantine period, all the students including girls, were tested and all the reports have come as negative but despite passing of a month, these students continue to remain in quarantine centre without any logic. Their co-passengers, from different Indian states, have all gone to home after completing their quarantine period, he added.
If Students from other states have reached home, why there is different treatment towards the Kashmiri students?, he asked.
