Published November 3, 2010

PESHAWAR, Nov 2: The Pakhtun Students Federation (Azad) has alleged violation of merit in the appointments of wardens at the University of Peshawar and has warned of agitation against what it called nepotism and favoritism.

In a press statement on Tuesday, the PkSF (Azad) campus president alleged that the varsity had appointed five wardens in violation of merit.

He said students who had earned gold medals from the varsity had been denied jobs and those ranked very low on merit list were given jobs. — Bureau Report

He also said that PkSF (Azad) was not associated with any political party or organisation and its activists were striving for the rights of deserving students.
