Sindh University teachers continue protest
Hyderabad, Feb 18: Teachers and employees of the University of Sindh continued to protest
on Friday against the vice-chancellor of the University of Sindh Dr

last 46 days. They took out a massive rally in the campus of the varsity
in Jamshoro under the banner of the Sindh University Teachers
Association (SUTA) and Sindh University Employees Welfare Association
(SEWA). Protesters raised slogans against the administration of
the university and observed a token hunger in their two camps, set up in
the university and outside the local press club. SUTA General
Secretary Arfana Mallah said that the teachers would widen protests
across the country as the government is not paying attention to their
demands, including dismissal of the VC from his post, cancellation of
FIR registered against innocent teachers and employees, reinstatement of
terminated teachers, restoration of student union and improvement of
law and order situation in the varsity. Classes of the university
have been suspended since Jan 2, when professor and director of
