HYDERABAD, Sept 29: Indus Social Forum activists staged a protest demonstration against the admissions policy of Karachi University outside the local press club on Saturday.

They chanted slogans against the KU admissions policy.

Speaking to the protesters, Indus Social Forum chairman Syed Khalil Ahmed Shah and deputy general secretary Mohsin Patoli and others said that there were 6,000 seats in KU, but Sindhi students were being deprived of admissions to the university and only 350 Sindhi students were getting education there.

“Karachiites take up 5,800 seats and candidates of 22 districts of the province are given only 30 seats while a total of 170 seats are allocated to candidates except for Sindh,” they claimed. They alleged that it was an injustice being committed by educationists who had made this policy of admissions.

They urged President Asif Ali Zardari, the prime minister and the chief justice of Pakistan to take notice of this alleged irregularity. —Staff Correspondent
