Students and teachers in Shopian, Jammu and Kashmir, marched in protest against the government’s declaration of their educational institution as unlawful under the UAPA.

The demonstration, which took place on Thursday, was peaceful, with participants holding placards advocating for their rights, such as 'education is our fundamental right.' They urged the government to revoke its decision, which they believe threatens their future.

The government order, issued on April 24, is based on allegations of illegal activities linking the institution with Jamaat-e-Islami, which was banned in 2019. Political parties have voiced their opposition, demanding that the authorities reconsider the notification.
