Students’ organisations has issued a call for implementation of the unanimous decisions of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC), Senate Standing Committee on Science & Technology (SSCST) and Federal Education & Trainings (FET) on awarding dual degrees to 2,532 students under joint program of COMSAT Institute of Information Technology and Lancaster program.
The demand was made by the representatives of students’ organisations through a joint statement on Sunday.
Central President General AnjumanTulba Islam (ATI) Akif Tahir, Central Secretary General Mr. Mr.Rehan Tahir and Secretary Information ATI Syed Waqar Shah through a joint statement stated that due to efforts of Chairman & members of PAC and Chairpersons SSCST & FET, the issue of award of dual degree had been resolved.
Inspite of clear instructions by PAC on 8 October to implement its decision within one week, it is lamentable that the unanimous decision could not be implemented and more than fifteen days have passed. They said if further delay was made in award of the degrees the students would have no option except to protest.
They further stated that SSCST in its two meetings on 27 July and 18 August unanimously decided the award of dual degree to all the students enrolled for COMSATS-LANCASTER program. But some elements are creating hindrances on personal grounds in implementation of recommendations of standing committees.
They requested President, Prime Minister of Pakistan, Chairman Public Accounts Committee and Chairperson SSCST & FET to take notice of this unnecessary delay in award of degrees to 2500 students.
