Punjab University expeled seven IJT students

andrusticated four others, all belonging to the Islami Jamiat Talaba (IJT), for
committing serious breach of discipline.

varsity's Discipline Committee, it was also decided to stop the result of one
student till his appearance before the committee while some students were
provided the opportunity to submit written statements and appear before the
committee along with their parents.
Furthermore, the entry of the
rusticated/ expelled students was banned on the whole university campus with the
warning that if any individual was found to have accommodated them, he shall be
liable to disciplinary action too.
Sources in the PU administration said
the action was taken following the confirmation of the students' involvement in
an incident of hooliganism at the Khalid Bin Waleed Hostel, Old Campus, last
month. According to them, the students had not only misbehaved with senior
teachers and officials in the presence of the vice-chancellor but had also
thrown chairs towards them to hurt them. The News

"The disciplinary committee of the Punjab University has expelled seven students
and rusticated four others linked to the IJT. The action comes after the
committee received confirmation that the students had been involved in violence
against persons linked to a rival group at a university hostel. It is also known
the Punjab governor had taken notice of the act of hooliganism and advocated
immediate action against those behind it. The move against the IJT
students is important. In the past the group has too often been able to get away
with all kinds of high-handed behaviour and has used tactics of blackmail to
paralyze authorities. Teachers have in the past been threatened or harassed.
There are signs the tide is turning. The PU seems more determined than before to
rein in the IJT and break away from its grasp. The signal sent out is also
important. It will help to drive home the message that those who engage in acts
of violence will be punished. This should give hope to many students and
teachers at the PU who have been adversely affected in one way or the other by
the IJT but whose complaints have been repeatedly ignored. This is especially
important at a time when other student unions are springing up, ready to
challenge the IJT, and usher in a less repressive era at nne of the largest
institutions of higher learning in the country."
