THATHA/ Hyderabad : Activists from Sindhi Shagird Tahreek (Sindhi Students Movement-SST) and Sindhi Girls Student Tahreek (Sindhi Girls Students Movement-SGST) marched from Gul Centre to Hyderabad Press Club on Satursay to protest against the Sindh University administration’s decision yo increase fee.
A huge number of Sindhi girls attended the demonstration, waving play cards and party flags and shouting slogans against the increase in admission fees, the Sindh government, and the University administration.
The students held a demonstration that began from Gul Center and concluded in front of the Press Club Hyderabad, where they staged a protest.
Mr. Pardeep Gulab, the president of Sindhi Shagird Tahreek, Miss Kainat Dahri, the president of Sindhi Girls Student Tahreek, Atif Mallah, the general secretary of Sindhi Shagird Tahreek, and other party officials led the rally.
“We have been deprived from our fundamental rights which are envisaged by the Constitution” said Mr. Pardeep Gulab, President of Sindh Shagird Tahreek and student of MSc. English, while addressing the large crowd of students he further said that “education hostile policies are being run by the government and the Sindh University Administration, so that the Sindhi Student cannot get higher education in their own province, whom they belong to since five thousand years.”
“Our parents are anxious, they are not earning enough, when already all the pricing livelihoods are communicating with the sky, they are worried whether they can provide us with a meal or pay for our education, which is a basic fundamental right granted by the Constitution,”
He continued. “We are still not permitted to get higher education in our Karachi City; we have been struck down with the wall,” he continued.
Sindh University’s recent announcement of a fee increase is nothing more than a pretext to kill us. The Sindh government is preoccupied with counting its black money and enacting regulations that discriminate against Sindhi students.
“We are not permitted to congregate, unify, or raise problems about policy, confirming that we are not living in a democratic period but rather in a dictatorial one. We would be rusticated by the universities if we raise our voices,” stated Ms. Kainat Dahari, president of Sindhi Girls Student Tahreek and LLB student.
“We are issuing a warning to the government and university administration to revoke the decision to raise tuition; else, a province-wide demonstration will be held”, she concluded.
