No more desperadoes tolerable at educational institutions | |
2013-12-06 | |
![]() All political parties including the ruling PML-N should announce that they would not allow their student wings to operate in educational institutions. Universities and college should be allowed to work on education and research in complete apolitical atmosphere. Punjab Governor Chaudhry Muhammad Sarwar, Punjab Chief Minister Mian Shahbaz Sharif, Provincial Law Minister Rana Sanaullah, Education Minister Rana Mashood Ahmed and chairman Higher Education Commission Engineer Syed Imtiaz Hussain Gillani also stand by this social consensus. They also fully supported the daring stance of PU Vice-Chancellor Dr Mujahid Kamran against violent Islami Jamaat Tulaba ...the student wing of the Jamaat-e-Islami... workers. ![]() ... The Islamic Society, founded in 1941 in Lahore by Maulana Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi, aka The Great Apostosizer. The Jamaat opposed the independence of Bangladesh but has operated an independentbranch there since 1975. It maintains close ties with international Mohammedan groups such as the Moslem Brotherhood. the Taliban, and al-Qaeda. The Jamaat's objectives are the establishment of a pure Islamic state, governed by Sharia law. It is distinguished by its xenophobia, and its opposition to Westernization, capitalism, socialism, secularism, and liberalist social mores... 's student wing IJT has held hostage students and teachers of Punjab University, Islamia College Civil Lines and Govt Science College Wahdat Road Lahore. The arm twisting by IJT activists for their and their parent party's political and economic interests has become an order of the day. This has affected the performance of these institutions very badly. The administrations of these institutions put their all-out energy to tackle these political elements instead of focusing on academic and research excellence.
![]() After Anti Terrorism Court's inaction against IJT workers, the case was taken to the Lahore High Court for fixing responsibility in this regard. Punjab University Academic Staff Association president Ehsan Sharif, Secretary Javed Sami and all teachers of the university have stood united support to the victimised teachers of law college NaeemUllah Niazi and Imran Aalam so that justice could be provided to them. After the wave of violence in PU which triggered cancellation of contract of defaulter canteen operator at University Law College by two lecturers NaeemUllah Khan Niazi and Imran Aalam. In reaction to their sympathy for canteen men, the IJT activists attacked both the lecturers, who later narrated the entire story at a hurriedly-called presser. Lecturer Naeemullah even couldn't control his tears during the presser. Since the matter seems to be slipping out of IJT's hands, many feel that IJT activists were now levelling baseless allegations on PU teachers and the administration to defame them. They are reportedly using various pressure tactics and propaganda techniques to balance the situation in their favour. Punjab University front man has said that Jamaat's statement regarding summons of PU VC was baseless and fraudulent. The front man said IJT should have mentioned the name of the court which has summoned PU VC. The front man said the administration's determination could not be shaken up by levelling baseless allegations. He said that administration would deal with political elements in accordance with the law and no pressure would be accepted. He said that Punjab University was not a private property of a specific political group but all the students had equal right on it. | |
