LAHORE, Dec 13, 2007: The Punjab University (PU)

political gatherings in several hostels.

and Engineering Department and Institute of Education and Research. He said the
two departments were the hub of IJT's activities.

acting vice chancellor (VC) Dr Arif Butt is the Director of PU Chemical and
Engineering Department.

anti-IJT movement was not cooled down, but they were trying to organise their
movement.

Nazim App Kay Rubaru. In the programme, he said, the PU IJT nazim had visited
hostels to promote their agenda.
On condition of anonymity, a student
said IJT activists had held a meeting in Hostel-14. He said majority of the
hostel were against IJT.
PU IJT media secretary Imran Kiyani said IJT
workers were visiting hostels to solve problems of the students. He said IJT
offices were still closed.

to my knowledge IJT offices are still closed." He said PU is planning to provide
a space in PU regarding co-curricular activities. Daily Times
