The students of Bacha Khan University (BKU), Charsadda, held Quran Khwani on the road outside the university on the occasion of third anniversary of the terrorist attack on the university after they were not allowed by the administration to enter the campus on Sunday.
The university administration did not organise any event to commemorate the martyrs of terrorist attack on Bacha Khan University three years back after which the students decided to hold Quran Khwani for their martyred friends. However, they were not allowed to enter the university campus by the administration after which they decided to hold Quran Khwani on the road in front of the university gate.
The students also staged a token protest outside the university gate. They offered dua for their martyred friends and also for prosperity and peace in the country.
On Jan 20 2016, four terrorists attacked Bacha Khan University in the morning and killed 20 people including 14 students and injured 22 others. The four terrorists were also killed during operation by police and law enforcing agencies. Suicide jackets and other weapons were recovered from the attackers.
Prompt action from the Pakistan Army and police ensured that at least 150 students were rescued safe and sound. The facilitators of the terrorist attack were also arrested in subsequent intelligence based operations.
However, it was a matter of grave concern for the students that the university administration did not arrange any event to pay tribute to the martyred students on third anniversary of the incident and also restricted the students from holding Quran Khwani inside the university premises.
Local sources said the students and parents have also expressed concern over the existing security arrangements at the university. The watch towers of the university are often seen empty despite provision of heavy grant to the university for security arrangements. The sources said no security personnel have been deployed at the watch towers and birds have set up nests in these towers.
