"This will reiterate the message that Kashmir is an integral part of India and students will have a psychological win over the anti-national elements in the campus as well as outside," the students wrote in the letter
The students have presented the letter to the HRD ministry saying "We request either the Hon'ble minister of HRD or the Prime Minister of India to come with students to NIT Srinagar and hoist full size Tiranga in the campus at its highest mast."
"We have presented our demands and hope that the ministry will take action to create a suitable environment," said Swayam, a student, who was part of the delegation, after the meeting.
