Male campus of International Islamic University Islamabad (IIUI) went on strike on April 4, 2011 after many students being beaten by Islami Jamiat Talba on Friday.
According to IIUI sources, the Pukhtun Student Organization (PSO) organized a musical night in annual celebration of renaming of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Almost 200 students attended the cultural programme. When they returned from the event to the hostels, they were attacked by jamiat. Students were even beaten by entering in their rooms in the hostel. Almost 21 / 45 students got seriously injured.
Aftab Alam, Senior Secretary PSO said that the cultural programme was held for annual celebrating of the renaming of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and the 18th amendment.
The university and iiui hostel management is silent over the issue. Police is not registering FIR too according to Aftab Alam.
Rector IIUI professor Fateh Mohammad Malik said that both parties has negotiated and the matter (of beating and severely injuring university students by Jamiat) has been settled and strike has been called off.
Rector IIUI said that outside elements were involved in provoking the students for this issue, which is also pressurizing the university and hostel staff for not taking action against them. The extend of this outside element can be measured from the fact that they control the Police of the Capital of Pakistan, Islamabad, and they aren’t registering any FIR against them. Also, many workers of this outside element are living in IIUI hostels, as this event took place in the university hostels at night.
