PESHAWAR
The nazim of the Islami Jamiat -e-Talaba, student wing of the JI, Taqweem-ul-Haq has expressed serious concerns about the dire financial and administrative crises plaguing all public sector universities of the province.
Addressing a press conference at the Peshawar Press Club (PPC), Taqweem-ul-Haq criticized the exorbitant annual fee increases that effectively shut the doors of education for many students.
He also highlighted the rampant drug use in the greater campus area as a disgrace for the administration, accusing them of enabling such activities.
“The administration needs to wake up,” he stated, emphasizing the shameful incidents of harassment occurring daily, including unauthorized individuals entering the campus to harass female students.
With hundreds of police officers present, he questioned what the university administration was doing to earn their salaries and urged them to take responsibility for safeguarding campus property from mafia control.
Taqweem-ul-Haq further pointed out that many students are from low-income backgrounds, and therefore, the burden of rising fees should not fall on them.
