HYDERABAD, Aug 29: Activists of Sindhi Shagird Tahreek, the student wing of Awami Tahreek, staged a protest demonstration outside the press club here on Wednesday against the closure of hostels of Sindh Medical College and Dow Medical College Karachi and the prevailing lawlessness in the educational institutions of the city.

Speaking on the occasion, SST leaders, Javed Larik, Rehman Dahiri, Sarmad Rajpar, Javed Bhatti and others said that the educational atmosphere had been destroyed in the educational institutions of Karachi in the name of students’ politics by terrorists.

They claimed that under a planned conspiracy, criminals were given admissions in educational institutions at the behest of agencies.

They demanded that a judicial inquiry should be held into the terrorist acts.
