Students at SU boycott exams
Hyderabad, June 11: Over 1,500 students of the Sindh University Jamshoro campus marched out of their hostels late on Wednesday and staged a sit-in on the Indus Highway for three hours in protest against police firing on the STP rally in Karachi, killing three activists.
A heavy contingent of Jamshoro district police reached the spot and remained there. Students called off the strike voluntarily after three hours while announcing mourning of seven days for those killed by police.
The students were led by Safdar Tunio, Ali Mohammad Burfat and Awais Bachkani. Protesters raised slogans against the Sindh government and the influx of internally displaced persons into Sindh.
They also announced boycott of the semester examinations paper scheduled for Thursday (today). The university postponed Wednesday's paper as the activists did not allow the plying of point buses.
A source in the university said that the students had demanded that they should be provided university point buses for going to Karachi to take part in the STP rally but the university administration refused the request. Neither teachers nor students
nor employees could reach the campus for want of point buses.
Meanwhile, Awami Tehrik leaders condemned the killing of three STP workers by Karachi police.
