Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Friday urged the government to make early arrangements for the reopening of country's top educational institution Quaid-e-Azam University (QAU) Islamabad which has been shut down for past two weeks due to students' strike.
Speaking at a press conference, JI Deputy Chief Mian Aslam requested the government to immediately take necessary steps for restoring educational activities in the Quaid-i-Azam University. He said that some elements have turned QAU into a drug hub and the government should purge university of elements playing with the future of Pakistan. Aslam said that since October 2, 2017, the university has been closed but the authorities have not taken any serious step to reopen it.
The deadlock between protesting students and administration of Quaid-i-Azam University continued on Friday and the academic activities remained suspended for 10th consecutive day.
The QAU students are on strike against the university administration, demanding that expelled students be restored. The students were expelled a couple of months ago for causing unrest in campus. The protesting students have also demanded that the university should improve students' facilities, construct new hotels, withdraw hike in fees and so on in their 13-point charter of demands.
Speaking on the occasion, Islami Jamiat Talba Punjab leader Saad Haroon said that some elements are trying to use educational institutions to promote their hidden agendas; therefore, they are backing regionalism, ethnicity and sectarianism in the educational institutions. He said that the authorities concerned should take serious action against all such elements without making any compromise. He requested the government to reopen educational activities in the university as early as possible, saying that some elements have made hostage the management of the QAU.
Haroon also requested the government to make sound security arrangements for the students and teachers of the university with taking those elements to task who are trying to achieve their nefarious designs by bringing educational activities to standstill in the top university of the country.
