HYDERABAD: Activists of Sindh Progressive Federation staged a protest demonstration outside local press club against raise in fee by Sindh Agriculture University (SAU), Tandojam.

Comrade Sanjha Channa, Darya Khan, Rasheed Khoso and others, who led the protest, said that it appeared the government had decided to privatise public sector universities. Constant raise in fees would lead to eventual privatisation of universities, they feared.

They said that it was tantamount to closing doors of education on students of peasants and labourers and rejected the fee hike. They would support SAU students’ demand for cut in fees, they said.
