MULTAN, May 30: The Bahauddin Zakariya University has no plan to disband its law college.
This was stated by BZU vice-chancellor Dr Ghulam Mustafa while speaking at the annual prize distribution ceremony of the University Law College here on Friday.
He said, therefore, the unrest among students and their parents about the future of the college was uncalled for. He said the university had a plan to introduce special law classes on its campus with English as medium of instruction in order to bring the education of law at par with the international standards.
He said the university wanted to introduce the semester system for special law classes, but the Pakistan Bar Council had expressed its reservations about this system of examination. “We have to adopt the semester system if we want to impart quality law education,” he said.
Law college principal Dr Abdul Rasheed underlined the need to revamp the country’s justice system. He said for a transparent process of justice, the judiciary would have to be made independent.
Unrest among law college students had created with an announcement by the university that it was introducing LLB classes under the semester system, that too, on its campus from next session of 2003-2004. It announced that only the current LLB students of Part-II and III would be allowed to go for the annual system.
DEMAND: The Pakistan Seraiki Party has demanded that the Bahauddin Zakariya University should introduce MA Seraiki language and literature classes.
A meeting of the PSP’s Multan city organization held on Friday under the presidentship of its Seraikistan unit president, Asad Langah, observed that setting up only a research centre for the promotion of Seraiki language was not enough.
It was also demanded that students passed out from the MA Seraiki department of the Islamia University, Bahawalpur, be given jobs.
The Seraiki party also demanded medical colleges in Rahimyar Khan and Dera Ghazi Khan besides a university status for the Nishtar Medical College.
