 Expelled Pakhtun students seek migration

PESHAWAR: Pakhtun students of the Sindh University Jamshoro

Saturday said they had been expelled from the varsity due to pressure of the nationalists and demanded of the government to migrate them to some other universities in the country.

Addressing a press conference here, the students, led by Aqeel Khan, said they had been expelled from the varsity because of their Pakhtun nationality. They said three of their Pakhtun fellows were severely tortured while they were asleep in the hostel on May 21 at 2:00 am. The aggressors, they added, also snatched documents, computers, cell-phones and Rs20,000 from them.

“They also warned us to leave the university latest by May 28 but we ignored it and the same day at 10:00pm the activists of Sindh nationalist parties forced their entry into our rooms

and expelled us from the hostel,” they said.
