KARACHI: Students of Islamia College on Friday staged a protest after police made efforts to vacate the building in Karachi.
The protest erupted soon after police contingents intending to evict the college building from students reached the site. Police were complying the orders of provincial government to seal the building and hand it over to the trustees.
The students set tyres on fires on M.A Jinnah Road and blocked the city’s main artery in protest against the eviction orders.
Islamic Education Trust has been claiming the ownership of the college’s complex. The law enforcement agencies (LEAs) had previously made several botched attempts to evict the premises.
The Sindh government has also offered the teaching staff and students a new complex but the protesting students along with the faculty remained unmoved.
