HYDERABAD, May 9: The Sindh Agriculture University Teachers Association has rejected decisions of the syndicate meeting held on April 30 and selection board meetings held on April 19 and 20. In a statement issued here, the president of the association, Mr Ghulam Rasool Mari, and general secretary Ali Ahmed Lakho said the selection board and the syndicate had ignored highly qualified senior teachers and only favourites of the board and syndicate were patronized.
They said it had created resentment among the university teachers.
They alleged that under a planned conspiracy, the institution was being destroyed and educational atmosphere was being jeopardized.
They appealed to the Sindh governor to take notice of the flagrant violation of law and injustices and order an impartial inquiry into the affairs of the university.
FORMER MINISTER: Former Sindh minister for law and minority affairs, Muzaffar Sadiq Bhatti, has said recommendations of the parliamentary constitutional committee to transfer 29 subjects of the concurrent list of 47 to provinces in the next five years was not enough.
In a statement faxed to Dawn on Friday, he said under the 1973 Constitution, all the subjects simultaneously existing in the Centre and provinces were to be transferred to provinces after 10 years which was not done.
He said even after 23 years, only 29 unimportant subjects were being recommended to be transferred to provinces and for the transfer of other portfolios a period of five years had been prescribed.
The former law minister termed these recommendations as violation of the Constitution.
He urged the federal government to transfer all the subjects to provinces except defence, communication, foreign affairs and currency to end unrest among the provinces.
