LAHORE: At least five Punjab University students were injured in a clash with Islami Jamiat Talaba activists on Tuesday.
Over 20 IJT activists reportedly assaulted five students from the Hailey College of Commerce with steel rods and harassed them at gunpoint. The five were later taken to Jinnah Hospital, with at least one reported to be in critical condition.The students were reportedly attacked because they had to ideological differences with the IJT, and a possible affiliation with the rival Insaaf Students Federation (ISF)
PU Student Advisor Iftikhar Chaudhry said that he had personally provided first aid to the students and took them to Jinnah Hospital in his personnel vehicle. He said he asked the students to submit an application against those responsible, so that their case would be forwarded to the disciplinary committee. According to the ISF general secretary, they would take legal action against the attackers and have registered an FIR against the IJT activists.
A large number of university students protested at Hailey College against the actions of the IJT, and once again condemned what they considered were poor security arrangements at PU. Despite the employment of 150 security personnel, and the hiring of retired military officials to improve security, the students report, the IJT have been not effectively dealt with. Protesters repeated earlier claims that university officials were not concerned with the IJT and their actions.

آج میڈیا آزاد ہے۔ اور اوپر سے عمران خان کا زور بھی، اس لیے اس کے خلاف آواز بھی سنائی دیتی ہے۔ مگر کراچی میں متحدہ کی اکثریت ہوتے ہوئے بھی جمیعت جب اپنی بدمعاشی اور اسلحے کے زور پر مہاجر سٹوڈنٹس کو مارتی تھی تو کوئی خبر شائع ہوتی تھی اور نہ کوئی مذمت ہوتی تھی اور نہ کوئی ایکشن۔ اور یہی وہ Critical Point تھا جب جمیعت کی بدمعاشی کو توڑنے کا واحد حربہ اسلحہ کو ہاتھ میں اٹھا لینا ہی رہ گیا۔ مگر افسوس کی متحدہ دشمنی میں یہی لوگ جمیعت کو معصوم پاکیزہ فرشتہ بنا کر پیش کرتے ہیں اور سارے الزامات پھر فقط مہاجر سٹوڈنٹز کے لیے رہ جاتے ہیں۔
