They are burning down schools in Kashmir so that kids take up terrorism: Anupam Kher

Mumbai: Anupam Kher said groups involved in burning down of schools in Kashmir do not wish their children to educate themselves.

According to him, the ongoing violence will eventually lead the perpetrators to pollute the minds of young Kashmiris and trick them into terrorism.

'People who are burning schools are anti-children, they just want our students to remain illiterate and adopt terrorism," the veteran actor was quoted as saying.

Due to the ongoing tension, schools in Kashmir have been closed since July 9.

"They want them (students) to remain illiterate so that they can pollute their mind and radicalize them. Instead of becoming a good citizen of this country and make their life better, they will go and follow a certain path which is not good for them and not good for us,' he was reported as saying.
