Sedition case against 14 PU teachers

By Our Staff Reporter

LAHORE, Nov 17: The Muslim Town police have booked Punjab University’s 14 senior faculty members on charges of sedition and provoking masses against the proclamation of emergency and promulgation of Provisional Constitution Order.

The PU Academic Staff Association (PUASA) general body had organised a protest walk from the Institute of Chemical Engineering and Technology to the Institute of Education and Research (IER) on New Campus on Nov 8 and condemned the imposition of emergency in the country.

The FIR under sections 124-A, 188, 143/149 and 16-MPO has been registered against PUASA president Dr Mumtaz Salik, secretary-general Dr Asmatullah, CHEP director Prof Dr Haris Rasheed, Law College’s Samee Uzair and Amanullah, ICS’ Mujahid Mansoori, Dr Shafiq Jallandhari, IBIT director Nayyar Raza Zaidi, Physics Department chairman Prof Dr Mujahid Kamran, IER’s Ziaullah Shah and Rana Majid, Pharmacy College’s Prof Bashir Ahmad, Geology Department’s Prof Chaudhry Muhammad Nazir and Geography Department’s Prof Abdul Ghaffar.

The PUASA general body had also passed a resolution that the imposition of martial law in the name of emergency was unconstitutional, undemocratic and an immoral action on the part of Gen Pervez Musharraf. It said the emergency had suspended the basic human rights of 160 million people and damaged Pakistan’s soft and enlightened moderation image abroad.

The FIR said policemen deployed at PU’s Gate No 2 to control law and order saw that some 40 to 50 university teachers, led by PUASA president Dr Mumtaz Salik, held a protest march up to IER and Gate No 2.

The FIR stated that Dr Salik termed the government’s action tarnishing the country’s image and demanded that all those involved should be punished. It said Dr Salik also provoked the university teachers and students against the government that might lead to creating law and order situation in the PU.

The FIR said 14 senior teachers were in the forefront in voicing protest and fanning people’s sentiments against the government.

Re: 14 Punjab University professors charged with sedition

Re: 14 Punjab University professors charged with sedition

Re: 14 Punjab University professors charged with sedition

Teachers are threat. They educate people, which is a boo boo for feudals and Corrupt millitary.

I say jail them. Jail the whole country man. Pakistan is not worth you Maharaja, you and your millitary need a country to rule. Burn the whole nation and rule forever.

Re: 14 Punjab University professors charged with sedition

let see how this is possible,

He have taken down all the pillars of an independent state, all is left is his army, which has proven to be good for nothing. i think what he need is to build big garrisons where he and his army can rest in peace and rule from...

rest of the country can be declared as a sub-jail... and there goes LONG LIVI MUSHY...

Re: 14 Punjab University professors charged with sedition

Sorry, but not in Mushrrafs Pakistan, or even outside of the Pakistan if he has anything to say about it. He personally called ruler of UAE and asked him to shut down GEO and Ary One. That shows you how far he is willing to go to silence his critics.

Re: 14 Punjab University professors charged with sedition

Musharraf has gone totally bonkers, absolutely bonkers....his days are numbered, and even our wily BB has sensed that.

Re: 14 Punjab University professors charged with sedition

my support for his rule has vanished. he has become a tyrant, it started of so well.

Re: 14 Punjab University professors charged with sedition

Democracy- a curse word

Re: 14 Punjab University professors charged with sedition

Seems like an unnecessary action by overzealous police.

Re: 14 Punjab University professors charged with sedition

I wonder when will his successor stare him in the face and tell him to "lay off". I have a nagging feeling that his days are numbered but if his days are not numbered then Pakistan's days (in current shape) are definitely numbered.

Re: 14 Punjab University professors charged with sedition

Just about everyone is thread to peace than BB. Is she out of house arrest yet again? I dont see no FIR against her, she has also tried to "provoke' the masses and her party's asses against this emergency.

Re: 14 Punjab University professors charged with sedition

Everyone forgot about her provokation, but Imran Khan's were worth charges of treason yeah he is terrorist.

Re: 14 Punjab University professors charged with sedition

Thats what I was thinking, how could PU have anything anti Mush when VC is Lt Gen Arshad Mehmood.
