A few expelled students of Punjab University backed by some faculty members and employees attempted to defame Punjab University and distributed pamphlets outside Punjab Assembly and tried to misguide honourable assembly members.
According to the spokesperson of the Teachers Front (TF) the agitators, including Mahar Saeed, Mumtaz Salik, Mumtaz Anwar and other university employees, which includes Ghulam Abbas Lodhi and Munir Awan protested in front of the members of assembly attending the session on Friday with the hope that members might came up in their support but they were disappointed for not receiving any attention from the lawmakers.
These agitators, belonging to a political group, have always been found in disrupting the academic atmosphere of the university and even their sons have been found in illegal activities in the past. It is essential to highlight that the disruptive and negative agenda of the agitators. All of them have a very negative record of their past activities mostly focused on unlawful activities during their stay in the varsity.
The spokesman said that after expulsion due to disciplinary action against them for anti social activities to disrupt the peaceful educational environment of the university. These elements wants their former nazim to be the top administrator of the university and go against all the administrative officials who don't bow to them or act according to their illegal wishes.
The present vice Chancellor Mujahid Kamran tried to end their hegemony in the university, which they were enjoying with the support of students and faculty heads of the various departments. Their present agitation is a result of the loss of their old so-called prestigious control over various activities of the university.
They can no longer assert their unlawful and unauthorised influence since the ban on unions in the universities, which these unruly elements regard as obstruction in their free for all misconduct. Not only the student community, but the public as well as the media now have seen the ugly and dirty game of such elements who are trying to pollute peaceful academic environment for their own motives.
During the past four years of the present university administration, rapid strides have been made in various fields of the academic activities bringing the ranking of the varsity to the fourth in position in the whole of Pakistan. The overwhelming majority of the students, employees and academia, therefore, strongly feel that continuity of this unique progress made by the Punjab University under the Vice Chancellor must be allowed continuity to attain the fruits of reform recently introduced in all spheres of this oldest and largest alma matter of Pakistan.
