PESHAWAR, Nov 20: The Pukhtoon Students Federation (PSF), Agriculture University, Peshawar, has demanded of the university administration to release the detained students of the PSF by November 25 otherwise they would start a countrywide strike.

At a news conference here at the Press Club on Wednesday, PSF president Sardar Ahmed Yusufzai said that ten students of the Pukhtoon Students Federation, Agriculture University, Peshawar, were arrested after a clash with another student federation some time back.

He said that five students of the federation were released while five others, Mohammad Naseer, Mohammed Nasir, Mohammad Sajid, Imran Shah and Farooq Shah, were still in jail.
