HYDERABAD, Nov 29: The All Pakistan Mohajir Students Organisation (APMSO) organised a ‘book bazaar’ here on Tuesday. At the fair, books were given to diserving students to who had clinched top positions in secondary school certificate (class-X) examination.

APMSO Reorganisation Committee In-charge Waseem Aftab, who is also a member of the MQM coordination committee, said that people would have to wage joint struggle for securing their rights and eliminating the wadera shahi and jagirdari system.

He said that even this day 98 per cent of children belonging to lower middle class and even middle class were deprived of their inherent right to education.

He criticised the opponents of secular education and educational boards and said that the critics could not even produce an alternate practical and viable syllabus during the last 59 years.

Countries smaller than Pakistan and with less resources had established universities of international repute while Pakistan had not a single university which could be compared with an international university, he regretted.

He said that the blame that MQM was the party of only Urdu speaking people was baseless. The party had taken roots in all the four provinces of the country with its representatives sitting even in the Azad Kashmir Assembly, he said.

District Nazim Kanwar Naveed Jamil said that by organising the free book bazaar, the APMSO had put into practice the MQM chief’s philosophy of realism.
