MULTAN, Feb 3: The disciplinary committee of the Bahauddin Zakariya University (BZU) has expelled six students forever and three others for one year after a clash between student wings of two political parties left six students injured, a BZU spokesman said in press statement on Sunday.

The spokesman said the university had also banned the entry of Islami Jamiat Tulaba Nazim Luqman Nazir and another activist Bakht Khan to the university.

IJT activists beat six members of the People’s Students Federation (PSF) on Friday for speaking in support of a student who was beaten by them (IJT activists) for sitting with his sister at the university canteen.

Those expelled forever are Muzammil Noor (Commerce Department), Ghulam Jilani (Library Science Department), Mahr Amjad (Pharmacy), Rana Khalil (BS Chemistry), Tanweer Ahmad (Computer Sciences) and Mulazim Hussain (Islamic Studies). Those expelled for one year are Farzan Bashir (BS Physics), Ghulam Mustafa (Pharmacy) and Rana Kaleemullah (Mass Communication), the university spokesman added. - APP
