BIEK shifts exam centre to DJ College
Karachi, May 15: The administration and teachers of the Aisha Bawany Government
Commerce College on Thursday boycotted the HSC Part-I & II Annual
Examinations in protest against the manhandling of teachers and threats from the
cheating mafia. Disappearance of rangers from the college premises forced
the teachers and the administration to relinquish their exam duties. Sources
said that Chairman BIEK, Prof Anwar Ahmedzai, in an official meeting with
administrative staff, had promised that rangers personnel would be deployed at
the college after the incident of manhandling of teachers and threats from of
the cheating mafia. Paradoxically, the BIEK has black-listed the Aisha Bawany
Govt Commerce College and shifted examination centre, set up there, to DJ
Science College Karachi on the pretext that candidates were facing various
problems. It is pertinent to mention here that on 13 May, a group of
students, belonging to a political party, forcibly entered the premises of Aisha
Bawany College and manhandled teachers for preventing them from cheating. The
miscreants also smashed windscreen of the principal's car. Later, in a
meeting between BIEK Chairman Prof Anwar Ahmedzai and DG Colleges Sindh, Dr
Rafiq Ahmed Siddiqui, it was promised that rangers would be deployed at the
college in the second shift of examinations to thwart any untoward incident in
the future. Sources further said the BIEK chairman failed to provide any
security to the teachers despite his tall claims. When contacted, the BIEK
chairman was not available for his comments on the situation. However, BIEK
representative Ishaq Mamji and deputy controller examinations Liaqat Ali claimed
that security personnel had been deployed at the college. He added that on the
intervention of the SPLA leaders, including Prof Iftikhar Azmi and Prof Muzafar
Rizvi, teachers and administration agreed to re-commence the examination but
students refused to appear in the papers. BIEK Chairman Prof Anwar Ahmedzai
said that Principal, Prof Fayyaz, was responsible for the boycott as
he deliberately caused delay in conducting the papers. Taking the strict
notice of the principal's negligence, the BIEK authorities decided to black list
the college, he said. The Nation
