The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has said that Pakistan is offering fellowship and scholarship programmes to Jammu and Kashmir's children willing to join terror groups. India's top anti-terror agency has said in a chargesheet in its terror funding probe in the Valley that Pakistan is pumping in money through All Parties Hurriyat Conference and promising quality education, particularly medical and engineering courses, to young minds.

The NIA said that Pakistan is doing so to prepare a generation of doctors and technocrats of Kahsmir who will have leanings towards Pakistan.

The agency said, "Students who were proceeding to Pakistan on student visa were either relatives of ex-militants or relatives of families of active militants who had indulged in various anti-national activities and had migrated to Pakistan."

The agency said their visa applications were recommended by Hurriyat's Syed Ali Shah Geelani to the Pakistan High Commission. The NIA said that militants who had managed to fled to Pakistan to join terror groups pursue their children's admission cases with medical and engineering colleges over there with the help of Hurriyat leaders.

"These students who are recommended for allotments of MBBS or engineering seats in Pakistan are also offered scholarships under various schemes of the Pakistani government," the NIA said.

The revelations came as a Delhi court on Friday took cognisance of the chargesheet filed by the NIA that has recorded the statements of 232 witnesses and submitted 284 sets of documents and 57 electronic evidences recovered from the accused.
