Students’ organisations condemned the attack by the NATO forces on the check post of the Pakistani troops on Saturday. The Islami Jamiat-e-Talba (IJT) protested against the attack by the NATO forces and demanded the government part ways with NATO in the war on terror. IJT Punjab University chief Nazim Zubair Safdar led the protest near the New Campus underpass. Nazim criticised the government, saying that it was shameful that the government had not learnt any lesson the attack of May 2 on Pakistani territory. Protesters raised slogans against the NATO forces and the government, demanding compensation for the families of the martyred men. The protesters also burnt tires in protest. Meanwhile, Insaf Students Federation (ISF) Lahore President Muhammad Usman called an emergency meeting to condemn the NATO attack and asked for the immediate closure of the NATO supply route. The ISF members also demanded the government pursue a case against the NATO forces in the International Court of Justice. They demanded a transparent inquiry of the incident, and asked the government to exit the war on terror immediately.
