Clash in KU leaves one student injured
Karachi, April 7, 2008: The clash between two rival wings of the political organizations on
Saturday evening at Karachi University left one student injured.
According to
an official source, the clash erupted between Islami Jamiat Talaba (IJT) and
APMSO in front of UBL, campus branch after exchange of hot words between the
members of the rival groups. While, Rangers personnel were not present at spot
of incident due to the rift between Sachal Rangers and teachers' community,
emerging after the manhandling of Dr Riaz Ahmed few days ago by the personnel of
Rangers at the Karachi University.
It is pertinent to mention here that this
is the second clash at the university, which took place after a few days of the
announcement by the newly elected Prime Minister, Yousuf Raza Gilani to lift the
ban from students' Union in the country.
According to IJT-KU representative,
Nauman Burney, "Two activist of APMSO, namely Usman and Mairaj, intercepted IJT
worker Ghufran Sohail, when he was entering into the KU at about 6:00pm. They
threatened Ghufran, used hot words and conducted aerial firing.
Burney said,
"Such incident provoked the workers of the IJT and resulted in a clash, in which
IJT worker, Faisal of Applied Chemistry received injuries. The activist of APMSO
freely used weapon during the clash and held aerial firing even before the KU
teachers."
He alleged APMSO of attacking at the Al-Badar Study Centre of IJT
and holding aerial firing. He also accused APMSO of abducting IJT worker,
Sad-bin- Abdulwahab at the same day. On the other hand, the central leader of
APMSO, Abdul Raheem told The Nation that IJT tried to sabotage the
'Pegham-e-Aman' cricket tournament, organised by APMSO by provoking clash at the
KU. The City Nazim was also invited in the final match of the tournament to be
held on Monday.
He alleged that Sanaullah, an activist of IJT, and his
companion held aerial firing. He further said that Sanaullah was outsider and
had been found in several clashes with violent and brutal behaviour. He pointed
out, "The members of APMSO did nothing to provoke any one, as the APMSO is
already involved in organising a cricket tournament. The allegation of abducting
a students and holding aerial firing at any centre of IJT is nothing but
illusion."
According to the police officials, "The first clash was happened
at Federal Urdu University situated within the jurisdiction of Risala police
station (PS) while the second clash was happened between the activists of All
Pakistan Muttahida Student Organization (APMSO) and Islami Jamiat Taliba (IJT)
at Karachi University situated within the jurisdiction of Mobina Town PS on
Saturday evening. The managements and the law enforcers solved the matter. No
