PMC students' issue still alive
Faisalabad, June 17, 2008: Trade organizations and members of Rabita
Ulema-i-Pakistan (RUP) have threatened to launch a protest campaign against the
Punjab Medical College administration if Ahmedi students were readmitted to the
academia.
Addressing a press conference, representatives of RUP and trade
bodies said the PMC administration had rusticated 23 Ahmedi students on charges
of preaching their faith in the institution.
They said, however, reports
were there that the management was going to restore them on the pressure of the
Punjab governor, which would be resisted.

Textile University shut again
Faisalabad: The National Textile University (NTU), which resumed
its class on June 9, was closed for an indefinite period on Monday after
students' refusal to join classes without acceptance of their demands, sources
said.

closure of the university.
Students of the university have been
protesting since April 2 for the university accreditation with the Pakistan
Engineering Council and the removal of the vice chancellor. The NTU resumed its
activities on June 9 but students did not attend their classes.
