\nHe said eventually forcing the authorities to withdraw the decision.
\nHe warned that if the latest decision was not reversed, students would give call for peaceful but strong protest. \u201cThis issue is linked to our future, education and right to be heard and there will be no compromise on it,\u201d he said.
\nIt may be added here that more than thousands students enrolled in various disciplines in the college had several time showed their agitation against the planned affiliation of the college with Fata university and demanded to remain it with Peshwar university.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
