On February 14, 40 CRPF jawans lost their lives in a deadly terrorist attack in Pulwama region of Jammu & Kashmir.
Consequently, many people took to social media to condemn the attack and demand revenge. However, many people have also targeted Kashmiri students in parts of North India, specially Dehradun and Delhi, and attacked them in retaliation.
In such a dire situation, where students have been forced to flee their colleges and return home, Khalsa Aid has come to the rescue of the students.
This is creating the real goodwill, brotherhood. The Kashmiris can only offer ❤❤❤ @Khalsa_Aid https://t.co/4FkoQBwm0M

According to News 18, Khalsa Aid reached out to the Jammu and Kashmir Students’ Organisation (JKSO) and helped collaborate efforts to transport students from Dehradun to Chandigarh. They also provided shelter and food to the students.
Transport arrangements are also being made for the students who want to go home.Parents need not to worry as the are so many panjabis to make sure every Kashmiri is safe here.@RaviSinghKA @ndtvindia @BBCHindi @THNewDelhi @CNN #khalsaaid #onelove #kashmiri @Khalsa_Aid #Humanity pic.twitter.com/CUGCg7Gntl

In conversation with News 18, Amarpreet Singh, managing director of Khalsa Aid International shared that when he heard of the students’ plight, he immediately offered help.
What is their fault… that they are Kashmiris? We will stand by them and help them. About 250 more students are stranded in Dehradun and want to leave for Jammu. We will take care of their travel. People with no understanding of what’s happening on the ground are playing politics over the issue. Another country is being dragged into our internal matter. At this hour, we are there for those who need help.
We wish peace upon all 🙏🏻🙏🏻 https://t.co/G4Vlf1poHd
