LAHORE: Around 3,500 students of the Punjab University (PU) protested for the second day in a row on Friday against the hooliganism of the Islami Jamiat Talaba (IJT).
About 3,000 students had protested against the IJT on Thursday. Later, on Thursday night, around 50 IJT activists had marched through several hostels shouting that they intended to stay in the university and would make sure that their rules were being followed.
On Friday, the students shouted slogans some of which are Go Jamiat Go; nikal do nikal do, Jamiat ko nikal do (out with Jamiat); Jamiat ko bhagana hai, university ko bachana hai (we have to get rid of Jamiat and save the university) and Jamiat ka jo yar hai, ghaddar hai, ghaddar hai (Traitor is the friend of Jamiat). The students also chanted slogans against General Pervez Musharraf and the imposition of emergency in the country.
The rally went around several departments of the university. The protesters also criticised the PU administration, accusing it of nurturing the IJT. They said the IJT had no right to enforce its rules in the varsity.
Haroon Rasheed, a student, said the PU administration and several teachers were trying to mar the anti-IJT protests. He said many teachers were sympathetic towards the IJT and were supporting it.
Amber Sajjad, a student at the Institute of Communication Studies, said she had no interest in politics, but was protesting because she did not approve of the IJT’s policies. She also condemned the IJT’s manhandling of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chairman Imran Khan.
PU registrar Dr Naeem Ahmed Khan said the students’ agitation against the IJT was increasing. He said the protests would yield a fruitful result. He said the PU administration wanted to provide the students all their rights and was expecting a favourable result for their freedom.
A strong police contingent was deployed outside the university, but no policeman entered the university because the rally remained peaceful.
