HYDERABAD, May 14: The Sindh People’s Federation while claiming Tuesday’s clash victim to be their activist held Jeay Sindh Students Federation and Sindh University administration responsible for the death.

It may be recalled that Abdul Nabi Brohi, a BSc student of the SU lost his life on Tuesday due to an armed clash between students over proposal to boycott semester examinations because of power outages.

Speaking at a press conference here on Wednesday, the SPSF General Secretary Fayaz Rajpar condemned the killing and blamed ‘vested interests’ of trying to destroy academic atmosphere of the varsity.

He said the JSSF with the backing of the SU administration and Students’ Welfare Officer had killed Abdul Nabi Brohi. Expressing apprehensions over safety and security of students, he vowed not to let anyone destroy the peace of university.

He announced three-day mourning for the departed soul and demanded immediate arrest of the accused. “A five-member committee of the SPSF has been constituted to conduct inquiry into the incident,” he added.

JSQM: Chairman Jeay Sindh Qaumi Mahaz Basheer Khan Qureshi has expressed his grief over the murder of Abdul Nabi Brohi.

In a statement faxed to Dawn, he lamented the incident at the SU and held responsible the administration. He said it was a conspiracy to conceal misappropriation of funds and to level ground for Rangers’ entry into the premises.

He termed killers as ‘national criminals’ and said the direction of the dispute was being diverted to give cover to murderers under a planned conspiracy.

The JSQM leader blamed the Sindh government of being involved in the incident to bring its boys in the students union.

TEACHERS: The Sindh University Teachers Association, at an urgent meeting, expressed concern over the incident in which a student lost his life.

The meeting pointed at the negligence and apathy of the varsity administration. “The incident is enough evidence to the university administration’s impotence and incompetence”, the meeting observed.It cautioned the students against falling in the ‘designs of vested interests’ and condemned the behaviour of students’ leaders toward teachers.

The meeting was presided over by Syed Inayatullah Shah, Association’s leader.
