HYDERABAD, June 22: The Tulba Ittehad (TI), Sindh Agriculture University, Tando Jam, has announced here that it will launch a protest movement against the ‘ill-conceived policies’ of the Vice Chancellor, Dr Basheer Ahmed Chandio, from Monday.

The TI is a conglomerate of Sindh Taraqqi Passand Students Federation, Jeay Sindh Students Federation, SPSF-SB, Sindh Students National Front, Pakhtoon Students Alliance and Ponam Students Alliance.

Leaders of the Ittehad were addressing a news conference at the Tando Jam Press Club on Thursday.

Under the programmes of the movement, they said, students of the university would stage demonstrations and sit-ins and observe hunger strikes outside all the press clubs in the divisional headquarters on Monday.

They, however, made it clear that there would be no disruption in classes.

They accused the VC of trying to sabotage the students’ movement by sponsoring a ‘pocket students Ittehad’ which, they claimed was an imaginary body.

The leaders deplored that the VC was trying to create groupings among the students and declared that the policy of ‘divide-and-rule’ would be foiled.

Those who addressed the news conference included Suleman Veesar, Haider Shah, Moula Bux Jagirani, Faqir Mir Hassan Ujjan, Rehmatullah Kakar, Akhtar Jan and Zulfiqar Bohio.
