A petition seeking immediate termination of Sindh University Vice-Chancellor (VC) Dr Nazir Mughal was filed in the Supreme Court on Wednesday.The petition was filed by former MNA Marvi Memon under Article 184 (3) of the constitution making the Sindh government, governor, chief minister, home ministry, education minister, the Sindh University VC, Higher Education Commission (HEC) and others as respondents. Without naming any parliamentarian, Marvi requested the apex court to direct the HEC chairman to investigate authenticity of degrees of around 23 parliamentarians linked to the Sindh University, which she claimed made Dr Nazir Mughal ‘indispensable’ for the provincial government.
She accused the respondents of sabotaging the prestige, standard and quality of education at the university for their personal gains. She said that Mughal had previously served as the VC from 1995 to 1999 and re-appointed in 2010 in a non-transparent manner, without undergoing the due process of appointment of a person at such a high designation. Memon alleged that three murders happened during the last two years, including the murder of Bashir Channa and two other students at the university, Rameex Sohag and Babar Sandilo.
Memon also accused Mughal of corruption and nepotism.
Marvi requested the court to direct re-opening of academic activities at the university and other universities besides revoking all politically-motivated cases against the staff and students who staged protests for their right of education. She also pleaded for an investigation into murders of teachers and students.
Well done Marvi Memon, by going to SC and submitting petition, you have earned respect from teachers of all the universities of Sindh as well as their students. The Sindh government functionaries seem to be involved in destroying the academic atmosphere of Sindh University and you have rightly pointed out the reason.
