HYDERABAD, Aug 14: Members of the Indus Social Forum demonstrated outside the local press club on Tuesday in protest against admission policy of Karachi University.
Carrying banners and placards, they were shouting slogans against the university.
Leading the protest, Irfan Brohi, Asad Jogi and Hussain Leghari said the policy deprived students from interior of Sindh of admission to Karachi University.
They demanded of the government that over 600 students from interior of Sindh should be admitted to the varsity every year and Karachi, Sindh and Pakistan (KSP) category should be abolished so that students from 22 districts of the province could seek admission.
They said that according to the KSP category, the varsity preferred residents of Karachi, then residents of interior of Sindh and other three provinces. They said that only 30 seats had been reserved in the varsity for students of 22 districts of Sindh and described it as injustice.
Our Shikarpur correspondent adds: Activists of the Indus Social Forum demonstrated to press the authorities concerned to increase the admission quota in Karachi University for students from interior Sindh.
