Students should read books on the lives of freedom fighters and the agonies they underwent at the Cellular Jail in Andaman and Nicobar and also about the massacre of the Jallianwala Bagh, she said.
Mentioning the movie 'The Kashmir Files', she said, "There must be some gruesome activity in Kashmir due to which Hindus have fled from them."
"Terrorists challenged leaders of India to hoist a flag at Lal Chowk in Srinagar. After that, Atal Bihari Vajpayee accepted the challenge and an Ekta Yatra was carried out and a flag was hoisted at Lal Chowk. I was also part of the Ekta Yatra," she said.
