The committee condemned the disruption of the Pharmacy College exhibition by the IJT.
Insiders told Daily Times that the VC had allowed chairpersons, department heads, principals and directors of institutes had been asked to expel any university student claiming to be an IJT nazim, nominee for IJT nazim or an IJT activist. The sources said no “show cause notice” would be necessary for the expulsion of IJT nazims or activists because the organisation was trying to run a parallel administration and terrorise peaceful university students through that.
