LAHORE: The University of the Punjab (PU) Syndicate meeting was held on Thursday at vice chancellor (VC) office committee room under the security of armed guards. Members of the syndicate showed their concern on the deployment of armed guards by the university administration against its own teachers. In continuation of the anger disrupted during the last meeting of the Syndicate held on June 18. Syndicate members Javed Sami and Shamaila Gull strongly condemned the act of the PU administration for filing an application against a few faculty members, including two syndicate members, with terrorism charges. They said that convening the Syndicate meeting with ‘look-after’ charge of the VC was completely unlawful and calling armed guards against the teachers show that Dr Mujahid Kamran has become totally incapable of running and controlling the PU affairs. The Syndicate meeting agenda included the budget for the fiscal year 2016-17 along with other agenda items related to TTS faculty members’ selection board and increments. On refusal to the request of the Syndicate members for taking up only budget and increment related agenda items as they pertain to day-to-day affairs, Javed Sami and Shamaila Gull boycotted the Syndicate meeting deeming it as unlawful. Shamaila Gull also told the correspondent that while she was protesting against fake application against a few teachers by the PU administration, Dr Kamran threatened her of removing her from the committee room through armed guards. The ‘look-after’ VC was condemned for this attitude.
