Teachers deplore attack on SAU
HYDERABAD, March 7(Dawn): A large number of teachers and employees of the Sindh
Agriculture University staged a rally at the campus and a sit-in on the
Hyderabad-Mirpurkhas road to protest over a recent attack on the university
which included torching of vehicles.
They said that the February 24
attack was an act of terrorism in which many influential persons were involved
and the killing of a university student was used as a ploy to ransack the
university.
They regretted that the members of the assemblies,
intellectuals and writers had remained silent on the heinous crime.
They
demanded an inquiry into the incident by a panel of Sindh High Court judges,
compensation for university employees and others whose vehicles had been torched
and deterrent punishment for those involved in the attack.
They pledged
to continue protest till the acceptance of their demands.
As a result of
the sit-in, vehicular traffic remained suspended on the road for quite some
time.
Our Larkana Correspondent adds: A meeting of the Sindh Agriculture
University Teachers Association was held in the Z. A. Bhutto Agriculture College
on Tuesday to condemn the attack on the university.
Ghulam Qadir Chandio
chaired the meeting which deplored that the attack had caused loss of millions
to the university and termed it a `deadly blow' to higher education in
Sindh.
"Agriculture is the backbone of our economy and this is the only
university in the province which imparts agricultural education," the meeting
observed.
It termed the attack a threat to the sanctity of educational
institutes and noted that it had created scare among the students and
employees.
The meeting called upon the government to arrest and punish
those involved in the attack.
