About 22 students from Afghanistan studying at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) are not willing to go back to their country and want to extend their visas through academic courses. Afghan students are worried about their stay in India as their visa tenure is about to expire within months.

“For a war-torn country like Afghanistan, most of the people are extensively unemployed and trying to escape from either death or captivity. Arranging a `hefty fee` seems impossible.” said Afghan students in JNU while talking to ANI.
