Insaaf Student Federation (ISF) organises protest rally
PESHAWAR, Dec 14, 2007: The Insaaf Student Federation (ISF) organised a protest rally against
the imposition of emergency and for the freedom of judiciary here on Thursday at
the main campus of the University of Peshawar.
ISF is the student wing of
Imran Khan's Tehreek-e-Insaaf, which has boycotted the 2008 general elections.
More than 100 students participated in the rally. ISF campus President
Murad Khan led the rally.
"We want a free judiciary in our country,"
Murad Khan said, adding that, "All political parties should boycott the up
coming general elections." He requested the student community to raise their
voice against the imposition of martial law in the country.
"Free and
fair elections are not possible in the country without the presence of a free
judiciary," he added. He pledged that the student community could save the
country by launching a movement against the present administration.
"We
want rule of law in our country and not rule of a few individuals," he
said.
He said that it was a 'do or die' situation for the country and its
people.
He resented the negative approach of some political parties in
handling the judicial crisis.
"Every political party should demand the
restoration of former chief justice Iftikhar Chaudhry," he said.
Earlier
students belonging to different departments gathered in front of the Institute
of Management Sciences (IMS) from where they walked towards the vice
chancellor's (VC) house.
The rally was stopped by the police in front of
the Law College and was not allowed to proceed. However, there was no clash
between the students and the administration and the rally remained peaceful. It
was the first activity organised by ISF on the campus. Daily Times
