City police Saturday morning took over Jamia Faridia located in the posh E-7 in a bid to stop the seminary students from proceeding towards Lal Masjid to support the militants holed up inside the mosque. Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Zafer Iqbal told Daily Times that there was no bar on anyone to visit the seminary. He said about 50 students and teachers were residing in the seminary, while the rest had left for their hometowns. Iqbal said the inmates of the seminary were free to move around and teachers were performing their duties as usual. |
