KARACHI, May 19: Students belonging to the Islami Jamiat Talaba on Friday staged a protest demonstration against the police’s failure to yet arrest the culprits involved in the murders of Farhan Asif and Akmal Sherazi, and against registration of false cases against IJT activists.Students gathered outside the Urdu University and held placards inscribed with slogans against the Sindh government and Muttahida the Qaumi Movement.

Speaking on the occasion, an IJT leader, Saifur Rehman, accused the police and provincial government of patronizing culprits involved in the killings of IJT activists.

He said that on one hand, culprits were roaming freely in the city while false cases were being lodged against innocent students on the other hand.

He warned that students would protest on the main streets of the city if false and fabricated cases against the students were not withdrawn. He demanded that the MQM's activists involved in the murders of IJT activists be arrested and punished.

Meanwhile, the Nazim of IJT Karachi, Syed Abdul Rasheed, has left for Islamabad to meet the federal interior minister, top government officials and politicians of both the government and the opposition regarding the issue.

The IJT nazim will inform them about the ongoing violence in educational institutions of the city, killing of innocent students in colleges and registration of false cases against the IJT activists.—PPI
