Karachi: Students taking law and medical exams at Karachi University on Monday were shocked when some activists tore up their answer scripts to protest the murder of student activist.
"It was quite disappointing that our answer scripts were torn up by some students in the presence of a large number of Rangers and KU security personnel deployed on the campus," deplored a candidate, who appeared in MBBS (First Professional) exam.
Campus sources said that student activists asked the university administration to postpone the Monday papers after receiving news of the death of the student, who had been attacked two days back. But, they added, the administration did not take the matter seriously and failed to provide complete security to candidates.
The sources said that Karachi University Vice-Chancellor Dr Pirzada Qasim had asked the pro-vice-chancellor and the controller of examinations to ensure peaceful conduct of the exams, but they could not make proper security arrangements.
Meanwhile, the university's examination department has announced that both the LLB (Part-I) and MBBS First Professional (Part-A) papers, which were marred by hooliganism, have been postponed to June 27.
Timings and examination centres will remain unchanged, according to a KU notification. Dawn
