LAHORE, April 18: Following the alleged hooliganism and disruption of Pharmacy Fair by Islami Jamiat Tulaba activists, the Punjab University Deans’ committee on Wednesday decided that any student, who would be nominated as IJT nazim in any department or college or claims to be holding the political office will be expelled from the varsity.

The committee also decided that such action would be taken without issuance of any show-cause notice as it was tantamount to running a parallel administration in the varsity.

According to a news release, the committee took the decision at an emergent meeting chaired by VC Arshad Mahmood.

The body authorised the PU vice-chancellor to take strict disciplinary action against the `trouble-makers and hooligans’, who had disrupted the fair and damaged varsity property worth Rs1 million.

The committee passed a unanimous resolution and expressed complete solidarity with a senior teacher of College of Pharmacy, whose family was allegedly harassed by the Islami Jamiat Tulaba activists on telephone.

It also condemned the IJT activists for manhandling another pharmacy teacher, and using abusive language against varsity faculty members and female students of the pharmacy college.

The committee also passed a resolution, reiterating that no political activity would be permitted on the PU campuses.

The deans, who attended the meeting are: Prof Dr Muhammad Arif Butt, Prof Dr Mujahid Kamran, Prof Shaista Sonnu Siraj ud Din, Prof Dr Dil Muhammad Malik, Prof Dr Samar Fatima, Prof Dr Nayyar Raza Zaidi, Prof Dr Shahida Husnain, Prof Dr Liaqat Ali, IBA director Prof Dr Muhammad Ehsan Malik, College of Pharmacy acting principal Prof Dr Bashir Ahmad, College of Earth and Environmental Sciences principal Prof Dr Iftikhar Husain Baloch, Students Affair advisor Prof Chaudhry Nazir Ahmad, Resident Officer-I Zahid Karim Khan I and pharmacy college teacher Zeeshan Danish, who was injured by the IJT activists.
