Punjab University Admin Accused Of Favouring Jamiat Students In Hostel Room Allotments

The Punjab University administration has been accused of favouring students associated with the Islami Jamiat Tulba (IJT) in hostel room allotments.

The public university has 28 hostels and the students and some staff members have claimed that the IJT activists have illegally occupied at least 10 to 15 rooms in each hostel, according to a report published by Lok Sujag.

It further reported that the administration does not take action against the IJT for illegally occupying the rooms as it fears that it might trigger violent protests.

The university administration was also accused of allocating Baloch and Pashtun students the same rooms even if more vacant rooms were available.

IJT has been involved in a number of violent protests at Punjab University.

Earlier, at least 15 students were injured as the IJT activists attacked Hindu students at Punjab University for holding an event to celebrate Holi.

The students had taken permission from the university administration prior to holding the event.

However, the IJT activists carrying guns and batons attacked the gathering of students when they were celebrating Holi.

They have also been involved in a series of racially-motivated clashes.
