Re: SNGPL’s donation to LUMS sparks row
One thing though, unlike the other universities in Pakistan, LUMS will properly utilize this money to advance their excellent program. Lums is not just lahore's finest university, its the best in Pakistan when it comes to academic standards as evident by the success of its graduates. Atleast we know the money was well spent and will help the country, rather than ending up in the 'jaib' of someone.

No objection to that. But poor communities from where the resources are sucked and distributed to whole country deserve first. So money should be spent on them rather than already rich and developed institutions.
Looks like honesty ends at Lums rest of Pakis are sobs and corrupts, is that do you want to say?:)

Steal from Baloch, give to Lahore. Nice one.

This LOTA group supporter won't even read the actual article or any other post in the whole thread. All you saw was LUMS (of punjab) recieving donation and that is more than enough to EXCITE you.
Truth hurts, sorry.
40% undergrads at LUMS come from Sindh. One of the main sponsors of LUMS, Razzaq Dawood is from Sindh.
Would you ever think beyond ethnic divides?
Re: SNGPL’s donation to LUMS sparks row
One trait that king kong Altaf has installed in all his followers is that they will not let go any oppurtunity instigate hatred against punjabis and punjab. Even if 90% students of LUMS will be from Sindh and usually from karachi khek will still say the same.
By the way, donation should not have been made.

I agree, i would be much more happier if schools or colleges are built with this money. LUMS can surely survive without that donation but as you rightly said that MQM supporters wait for these sort of opportunities to spread hatered.
Re: SNGPL’s donation to LUMS sparks row
These muttehda scumbags re just jealous when they see an institution like LUMs taking all the honors and pride. LUMs caters to all the students in Pakistan and has one of the best selection/admission criteria and no undeserving jiyala or muttehda commando can force its way into it.
Re: SNGPL’s donation to LUMS sparks row
so if lums is a public institute is it easily accessible for people on the basis of merits or do they charge humungous fees?
Re: SNGPL’s donation to LUMS sparks row
The donation could have been used to help IDPs who are still just getting settled, or to build/re-build more schools for the underprivileged.
Re: SNGPL’s donation to LUMS sparks row
i think local funds should go in local institutes. for instance the same ammount of money in a less prestigious orgaznistion would've been more valuable for local community. after all its all about making good education more accessible.
If you are admitted, you will not be denied education at LUMS only because you cannot pay the fees. The ‘rich kids’ in a sense subsidize education for the less fortunate ones (in terms of financial position). The university is different from other private institutions in that it is not for making money for an individual or a group of individuals.
Would you guys please read the replies earlier in the thread.
Again, as I said, we need to spend money on Baluchistan and NWFP, but this money is not a waste either. This money is equivalent to sending 8-10 students abroad (which HEC is doing) but now 100s would get world class engineering education right here in Pakistan. This donation is also just a tiny fraction of what individuals and private organisations have already spent on the project. LUMS SSE | Giving to LUMS SSE
You can see that people like Syed Babar Ali (a major shareholder in tetra laval) and Razzaq Dawood (Descon) have contributed much more than the amount you people are arguing about. It is not that they have asked for money and then started the project. They have developed the school, showed results and then asked for donations.
PS You guys can look at LUMS SSE | Faculty and determine if it is not a sacrifice by scientists from world class universities to come teach and do research in Pakistan.
PS 2. SNGPL means Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited, and it does not make money out of extraction/exploration of oil which OGDC does.

Please provide reference. And even if true, fact still remains that the natural resources of Balochistan are being used to pay for an institution that has marginal or no benefit to Balochistan.

Wrong! Razzaq Dawood is an ethnic memon but he is very much a Lahorite...all his life he has stayed in Lahore, his business is based in Lahore and he is as much Lahorite as anyone else. As a Lahorite myself I am proud of Razzaq Dawood being a Lahorite!!!
Probably it is difficult for you to understand this concept, but here in Lahore everyone who is based in Lahore is considered Lahorite with no discrimination. Some other people like Feerasta's, Shirazis, Salman Dawood family, Humayun Akhtar family and many many others consider themselves as much Lahorite as anyone else. Here in Lahore we do not carry ethnic biases...

before commenting on lums eligibility criteria can you tell me how many students from rural areas of sindh can get admission in karachi university, dow, Sindh Medical college NONE, and these are public universities and reason they cant is because of MQM.
so please look around before commenting on a wel reputed institute..
also i am from karachi sindh not punjab.
Uncle tell us how it is run? So you are saying kakaballi is a liar? You are basaically a racist in denial. LUMS does not need money from poor provinces. If Gas is taken from Sindh, that money should go to Sindh's poor students/rural educational institutions of Sindh from where natural gas is extracted.
yes if i dont agree to your rotten racial thought process i become rascist, unfortunately most from our nation havent seen proper education and you are one of them if you had then wouldnt been saying that.
by the way as i said i am from sindh not punjab so i m rascist for my own beings :) .
Mehnran university: have you ever been there first tell me?

^^ Care to explain that how the natural resources of Balochistan are being exploited
I am sure people like you have never paid any bills or if paid have never noticed the details mentioned in it.. there are things called Surcharge, Sales Tax and other kind of taxes, which are paid by the people using it to the govt. Now just for your info, these taxes are on the top of the tariff and not included in the tariff there is a possibility that this donation might have came from those taxes..
But the party whom you represent the MQM< have only one agenda, try to spread as much hatefulness between the provinces as possible...
Re: SNGPL’s donation to LUMS sparks row
All taxes collected from customers should to to the CBR. As per country's tax law no person, or a body corporate or semi or govt department acting as a tax agent can give the money to anyother person or organisation.
