LARKANA, June 30: The Ad-hoc Lecturers’ Action Committee has announced that it would launch province-wide protests from July 6 if the services of ad-hoc lecturers are not regularised and their six-month salaries are not paid.

Talking to Dawn after a meeting here on Monday, Mohammad Shuttal Bozdar, Manzoor Kalhoro and other leaders of the committee, regretted the statement of the Sindh education minister who had declined to regularise 330 ad-hoc lecturers. The minister had sought clearing of examination through Sindh Public Service Commission which the committee leaders rejected saying that how could they go for SPSC examination which they had already cleared.

They said they were left no option but to begin a protest drive by holding protest rallies, demonstrations outside press clubs, Sindh Assembly, Zardari House from the platform of Sindh Professors and Lecturers Association (SPLA).
