PESHAWAR, Jan 26: Students of Peshawar University are in a dilemma because they have no representative body through which they can communicate their problems to the administration.

This situation leaves them with no alternative but to resort to staging demonstrations on the roads and boycotting their classes to register their protests.

"Students union should be restored to make students politically conscious and to enable them to convey their demands through a representative body," said Mohammad Muzammil, a law student at the University of Peshawar.

A vice-chancellor of a university, however, had recently criticized student wings of political parties inside university campuses. "We don't teach politics so there should be no politics on the campus because it benefits few who are away from us but causes problems for all of us here," he said.

Sahab, a former student of the Peshawar University denied the charges and said that university administrations hurled these charges on students to cover their own shortcomings.
