Jamaat-e-Islami-led town administrations donate eight buses to the University of Karachi for students’ transport; 10 more are promised next year.

Jamaat-e-Islami (JI)-led town administrations have donated eight buses to the University of Karachi to help students with transport. At a ceremony at the university on Thursday, October 22, JI chief Hafiz Naeemur Rehman handed over the keys to Vice Chancellor Dr Wasim Qazi.

Announcements

  • Hafiz Naeem said another 10 buses would be donated to the university next year.

  • He said around 30,000 students at the university lack an adequate transport system, and recalled that the university once had 125 buses when the Islami Jamiat-e-Talaba held the student union.

  • He said nine town administrations have shown exemplary performance despite limited powers and resources.

  • He announced plans for a nationwide campaign to promote education, which he called a key priority for his party, and called for the restoration of students’ right to form unions, which have been banned in educational institutions since 1984.
