ANP, PkSF slam IJT for 'attacking students'
The Awami National Party (ANP) has criticised the Islami Jamiat-e-Talba (IJT) for carrying out an armed attack on Pakhtun Students Federation (PkSF) activists at the Malakand University on Thursday. In a press statement issued here, ANP NWFP Information Secretary Arbab Muhammad Zahir alleged that some IJT terrorists opened fire on peaceful PSF students at the university, injuring three students.
He said that the condition of one of the injured was critical, adding that the IJT was a terrorist student organisation that has opened centres of terrorism at educational institutions. Through such activities, he added, the IJT was trying to postpone student union elections because the IJT has left with no future after the revival of students unions. The ANP leader demanded that the police immediately arrest those responsible for the incident.
Separately, the PkSF has also condemned the IJT over the incident. PkSF NWFP President Shakilur Rehman Barki alleged in a press statement that the IJT was a terrorist organisation. We demand that the government impose a ban on the IJT, arrest those involved in the incident and bring them to justice.
