IJT holds training camp at Punjab University New Campus
2005-06-28
The Islami Jamiat Talaba, which has considerable influence in the Punjab University (PU), launched a religious training camp, 'Feham-e-Din', in the unviersity's New (Quaid-e-Azam) Campus on Sunday afternoon. The IJT is the youth wing of the Jamaat-e-Islami

PU authorities categorically denied having knowledge of such activities on campus, which are illegal, but refrained to rule out the possibility that a camp had been set up underground. The 12-day training camp, which has been privately organised by select IJT members, is being attended by about 200 people from all over Pakistan. IJT activists from outside are staying in the Quaid-e-Azam Hall (hostel number one) and Alamgir Hall (hostel number seven) of the New Campus. The camp courses include topics related to religion. "Jihad may be one of the topics," said an IJT member. "The situation of Muslims all over the world and the Kashmir issue might be discussed in formal or informal discussions. It is all in-house. There will be no public gathering." The programme was inaugurated in the Institute of Chemical Engineering and Technology of the Punjab University and was attended by top IJT leaders. PU students witnessed flocks of IJT supporters chanting pro-IJT and anti-government slogans.
