Chancellor Sir Syed University of Engineering and Technology (SSUET) Engr Muhammad Adil Usman has said that it is not that only free people ought to be educated, but the educated people are the ones who are in fact free. Freedom is rather a state of mind. Having had education, there is a chance for you to make contribute for a better world.
He was addressing the ceremony held to celebrate Independence Day at the campus. He said that the nations demand freedom and freedom demands responsibility. Freedom is the will to be responsible to ourselves. It is true that in independent states, people are free to choose their actions, but not the consequences. So they should watch their steps and check out their actions, to avoid misuse of freedom.
