PESHAWAR, Oct 19: Thousands of university students signed banners as part of a campaign for their demands. The banners were hung by Islami Jamiat-i-Talaba at various places in the premises of the university.

Thousands of boys and girls took part in the banner-signing movement, says a press release issued here on Monday.

The banners presented for signatures were inscribed with slogans demanding reduction in fee, end to the self-finance scheme and the three-year course at BA level.

The release said the signing of banners by thousands of students has shown the ever increasing unrest among the students against the policies of the university administration.

Meanwhile, addressing a group of students, campus nazim of IJT, Hafiz Ibrar Akbar, said the enthusiastic participation of students in the banner signing movement has proved that the students are against the unbearable increase in fees.

He said the students have also given their verdict against the three-year course and new hostel policy of the university administration.

He warned the administration to review the decisions of increase in fee, self-finance scheme, three-year course and new hostel policy, otherwise, the students would launch a violent protest both in and outside the university campus.
