PU Shia students pray on road on 5th day
LAHORE, Aug 13: The Shia students at the Punjab
University (PU) on Monday prayed collectively on road on the 5th consecutive day
as the PU administration did not allow them from offering their prayer in the PU
mosques.
On Sunday the Shia students had written to PU chancellor Khalid
Maqbool requesting him to take action against the PU authorities.
Imamia
Student Organisation (ISO) spokesman Syed Farhan said, "We want the PU
administration to give us permission to pray collectively and we have written an
application to the governor in this regard." He said the Shia students across
the country had denounced the PU administration for its discrimination. He said
Shia students at the Karachi University, the Peshawar University and the
Quaid-e-Azam University had staged demonstrations. He said the PU administration
was unable to realise the sensitivity of the issue. He said the Shia students
would continue their protests till the PU administration opens mosques for
them.
The PU students have been sending a couple of text messages
denouncing the PU authorities for not allowing the Shia students from praying
collectively on the campus mosques. Some students have also been criticising the
Shia students for politicising the issue through text messages.
PU
registrar Dr Naeem said the PU administration would not allow anyone to disturb
the PU atmosphere. He said every Muslim has the right to say his/her prayers
according to his/her sect. He said the issue would be settled soon. Daily times
