chief Altaf Hussain is involved in the killing of thousands of innocent people
and the government should award him the death penalty in an open court." Daily Times
Students demonstrate at KPC
Karachi: Islami Jamiat-e-Talaba (IJT) staged a demonstration in front of
the Karachi Press Club on Tuesday to condemn the passive attitude of the police
and the government, who, according to IJT, were protecting the killers of the
students instead of arresting them.
The demonstrators had placards
inscribed with the slogans against Sindh Governor, Dr Ishratul Ebad, and Prof
Pirzada Qasim and the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Karachi. The
demonstrators questioned the silence of the Centre of Excellence for Women's
Studies and demanded that Arman Ahmed, Campus Security Officer, should be
removed the partisan approach in the students' clashes.
Meanwhile, a
spokesperson of the IJT informed that armed activists of the APMSO
entered the KU campus but a clash was averted due to the restraint by the IJT
and presence of the Rangers personnel. Dr Khalid Mahmood Iraqi, Student Advisor,
denied any stand-off between the students and said that those who were not the
students of KU were not admitted inside the campus. He was informed about the
misbehaviour of the university security staff especially women guards who were
very rude to the girl students. The security men were mostly discourteous and
acted crudely and in an arrogant manner with visitors. They even stopped
journalists who had valid entry passes and displayed entry stickers on their
vehicles.
In another development, the Karachi University Employees
Welfare Association (KUEWA) has demanded of the KU administration to take action
against the activists of the IJT who had manhandled and threatened some
employees of the university.
