Leaders of political parties, civil society, teachers and thinkers declared here on Sunday that mafias had taken over control of almost all universities in the province and turned the institutions into virtual slaughterhouses.
The best way to resist the mafia was restoration of student unions, they said at two seminars held here. The first seminar on `Mismanagement and lawlessness in Sindh University and other educational institutions, causes and solutions` was organised by Islami Jamiat-i-Tuleba and the other by an NGO, Strengthening Participatory Organisation.
Sindh Taraqqi Pasand Party chairman Dr Qadir Magsi said that the student unions should be restored and practical steps should be taken to solve problems of teachers and students.
He criticised what he called the handing over education sector to Sindh governor. Instead of solving problems, he said, students were being rusticated. He demanded that police and Rangers should be withdrawn from educational institutions.
He said the vice chancellor of Sindh University could not be absolved of the responsibility for the murder of Prof Channar.
Universities can`t be run by mafias.
He urged teachers and parents to realise their responsibilities in this regard.
