Differences surfaced between the Punjab Subject Specialists Association (PSSA) and Punjab Professors and Lecturers Association (PPLA) President Dr Zahid Sheikh as subject specialists announced that they would not boycott the rechecking of the papers.
Earlier PPLA decided to boycott the re-checking of answer sheets till the confirmation of contractual teachers, removal of board of governors and allotment of time scale during a rally in front of civil secretariat a few days ago.
“We do not want to play with the future of thousands of students and we will facilitate them in this regard,” PSSA Senior Vice President of Hasnat Sheikh said, adding that Punjab’s students were facing inferiority complex due to the prevailing situation and the subject specialists will participate in the rechecking.
On the other hand PPLA is firm in its stance of boycotting the rechecking, whereas Punjab Teachers Union has blamed PPLA of its political affiliation with Jamaat-e-Islami, saying that the recent rally of PPLA was political.
