IJT ‘thrashes’ ISF students for membership drive at PU

Wednesday, January 27, 2010

LAHORE

ACTIVISTS of the Islami Jamiat Talaba (IJT) on Tuesday allegedly thrashed some students belonging to the Insaf Students Federation (ISF) for launching a membership drive at the Punjab University’s Hailey College of Commerce.

The ISF activists, including Hafiz Farhat Abbas, Zubair Sabir, Ahmed and Muneeb, students of the Hailey College of Commerce, and Kamil Hameed from the PU Law College were beaten allegedly by Jamiat activists.

PU Resident Officer Shahid Gul said the students, belonging to the ISF, while recording their statements at the vice-chancellor’s office, had accused Jamiat activists of thrashing them. He said the ISF activists, fearing further action by the IJT, had demanded security from the university administration and later they were escorted to the Jinnah Hospital for medical treatment. He said the university would take action after probing the matter thoroughly.

ISF, Lahore, Secretary General Farrukh Habib said the PU chapter of the federation had launched a membership drive at the university a couple of days ago which had annoyed Jamiat activists. He alleged that IJT activists, including Hailey College Nazim Hafiz Wajid, Junaid Amjad, Amir Yaqoob and Usman Ashraf and other mostly expelled students attacked, the ISF activists for launching the membership drive, and added that Hafiz Farhat Abbas was had received severe head injuries. He alleged that one of the Jamiat activists was also carrying a pistol.

It is pertinent to mention here that after the PU incident, the ISF, led by Lahore President Hassan Niazi, organised a protest demonstration against Jamiat’s highhandedness near the Muslim Town Morr and blocked the Ferozpur Road for quite some time. The protestors chanted slogans and demanded the PU administration and the government take action against Jamiat elements in PU, saying innocent students were being threatened on a daily basis.

On the other hand, in a press statement, IJT activists, Usman Ashraf and Haris Saeed, denied Jamiat’s involvement in Tuesday’s incident, saying it was in fact a fight between some students of the Hailey College of Commerce and ‘outsiders.’ Haris Saeed alleged that Jamiat was being dragged in connivance with PU administration. A PU official, seeking anonymity, said the university administration was unable to take action against Jamiat without police help.

He said the PU administration, taking notice of Jamiat’s hooliganism, had expelled and rusticated dozens of IJT activists over a period of time. “However the university alone cannot flush out these elements without support of the government,” he maintained.

It is pertinent to mention here that PU high officials have complained against non-cooperation of police on several occasions regarding action against the IJT.

Meanwhile, leaders of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) have condemned the alleged torture of the members of Insaf Student Federation (ISF) by activists of the Islami Jamiat Talba (IJT) at the Punjab University.

The PTI leaders, including Imran Khan, Secretary Information Omer Sarfaraz Cheema, President Punjab Ahsen Rasheed, President Lahore Mian Mehmoodul Rasheed and ISF Lahore President Hassan Niazi condemned the thrashing of seven ISF workers students by the IJT activists.

The PTI leaders demanded immediate arrest of the IJT activists for violating law and order. They also held the view that any activity of torturing students in or outside the university area was a highly condemnable act. They warned the PU administration that the situation could worsen on the university premises stern action must be taken against those involved in the incident.

Aur saath do JI ka! I hope this serves as an eye opener for us. These JI/IJT people have always been badmaash and will remain so. The way they treated IK in the PU should have been enough for us. But no, we are not willing to learn from our mistakes. There is still time to distance ourselves from JI otherwise we'll be seen as the same as them and whatever votebank we have will go down the drain with them.

This is very sad. I hope Hafiz Farhat is ok. He is a brave young leader of PTI and I am certain this will not deter his determinism for PTI and the Khan. ISF should start a campaign to pressure Punjab Govt to establish Campus Security at all government institutions vulnerable to such violence by Jamiat and students unions at large.
