Action against corrupt PU employees | NCA exhibition
Stern action against corrupt PU employees
Lahore, Aug 08, 2008: The Punjab University administration has decided to taken stern
action against the corrupt university employees who are trying to blackmail the
administration to stop enquiries against them.
According to a press
statement, the PU administration strongly believed that the Jamiat students who
had been expelled from the university and their patron teachers were behind the
activities. It has been made clear in the press release that the professional
blackmailers and corrupt elements would face cases and university administration
would accept no pressure from the countable culprits.
The statement
added, "all members of late Muhammad Munir Chughtai deputy registrar
administration have issued a statement with their signatures and thumb
impressions saying that the sad demise of Munir Chughtai was natural and the
high ups of the varsity have nothing to do in this regard."
On the other
hand, the VC and all the other officers have been very kind to him and to his
family, they said, adding only those people were playing politics on the sad
demise who had tried their best to snatch the seat of deputy registrar from
Chughtai.
Meanwhile, in a press statement, PU chapter Islami Jamiat
Talaba's nazim Zahid Naveed said that the death of Deputy Registrar Munir
Chughtai had created confusion about the university administration in the minds
of students and teachers.
He alleged that the administration was
continuously creating disturbance for the students and employees but no action
had been taken against it. He appealed to Governor/ Chancellor Salman Taseer and
Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif to hold an independent committee to investigate
the death of Munir Chughtai and take strict action against the
culprits.
PU Registrar Prof Dr Muhammad Naeem Khan
said late Munir Chughtai had died a natural death but it was unfortunate that
some groups within the university were exploiting the situation for political
motives.
"He (late Chughtai) was one of our great colleagues but it is
unfortunate his death is being politicized", he added. The News

Exhibition promoting peace begins at NCA
Lahore: An exhibition by National College of Arts (NCA) Fine Arts Department
Head Bashir Ahmad opened at NCA on Wednesday. The exhibition aims to promote the
peace process and opposes atomic war and terrorism.
The exhibition is
being held in memory of the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki reduced to rubble
by atom bombs during World War 11. The exhibition includes sculptures and
paintings which negate war and violence. One sculpture depicts two female
figures that have melted with each other due to radiation from the atomic bomb.
The sculpture is built on a small pedestal carrying a statement condemning war.
In another sculpture a Sumo wrestler, a symbol of power in Japan, is portrayed
suffering, which shows how the atom bomb destroyed life in these cities, and how
people still suffer from the after-effects of the explosion.
In a
painting 'Buddha Under the Mushroom of Atom', the history of human barbarianism
has been told. It shows that in the beginning, human beings used to use swords
and arrows to capture territories to increase their power and wealth, depicting
how man steadily developed weapons of mass destruction and destroyed humanity
for its greed. The Buddha is painted black, giving an impression that humans are
searching for peace within conflict.
Ahmed said that World War II had
affected the world. He said, "My message is for all human beings to live in
peace and work for the betterment of humanity. The west has adopted the
qualities of Muslims, and we have forgotten the message of peace. We should live
in peace so that the world can be made worth living in." The exhibition will
continue for a week. Daily Times

groups among the students and they do not worried about the students' future.

facilitate the students. A Social Work Department student seeking anonymity said
that Social Work department faculty had been divided into two groups so the
