RAWALPINDI, Jan 1: The professors community is preparing to launch a movement against the Removal from Services Ordinance 2000, the union leaders told Dawn.

Earlier, the teachers had launched a successful campaign against the formation of board of governors.

The union leaders said the PML-Q candidates, during their electioneering campaigns, had termed the ordinance totally unjust and promised that it would be abolished if they came to power.

“It’s time that the government should scrap this ordinance, as it has created a sense of great insecurity and deprivation among the workers especially the teachers,” said the PPLA president, Muhammad Ilyas Qureshi.

He said: “There is a right to appeal in all the constitutions of the world but this is the only ordinance, which does not provide this right.”
