Toppers call for Shariah
law
Madiha Manzoor
(BSc student, first
position)
I am not deeply concerned with politics. I am however aware of
the political situation of the country and I know that implementing Islamic laws
would be in the best interest of the country.
Asima
Tabassum
(BA student, second position)
I have no interest in
politics, but I think Islam should be applied in running the country. The
formula would certainly be successful. Pakistani education should be updated and
the govt should start semesters in the Bachelors programme.
Nosheen
Goshi
(BSc student, third position)
I think Islamic way to
govern would prove to be better than any other way. We have experienced
dictatorship and democracy and neither of these has worked for us. Our education
system has outdated and needs semesters.
Muhammad Ahmad
(BSc
student, fourth position)
I am quite interested in politics and I feel
Islamic laws would benefit us all. I also feel that the Bachelors degree should
be divided into semesters because it makes it more organised for
students.
Rabeel Shoukat
(BSc student, fifth
position)
Islam guides us in every field of life and an Islamic
government would be much better for us. I want to do something to change the
political culture of the country. Islam teaches us brotherhood, not
extremism.
Sadia Attique
(BA student, sixth position)
Politics has always been a field of interest for me. Islamic laws should
be implemented in the government. I feel the annual examinations are better than
semesters. They give us more time to prepare. Daily times
