1,700 flood-affected students unable to pay their dues

It is really shame on the entire community of QAU that our so many students are suffering and we are doing nothing; why dont people leave the public offices if they cant deliver what is required from them. I request the VC of QAU to intervene and get it resolved to the satisfaction of these students. Why we are asking them to submit the fee if they are unable to do that and especially if we are returning them “soon”; does not make sense at all.Recommend

This is a gross misinterpretation of truth by the newspaper. The people who are studying at Quaid i Azam univerisity islamabad are I don’t say the wealthiest,but atleast they are able to arrange their fees which is very nominal by any measure. Their exploitation of a disaster to get personal benefit of this kind is an deplorable. In Pakistan those go for higher education are not the poor and needy. Those who can afford higher education for their children are the wealthy and the middle class people. Most of these are people having govt or private jobs. How come that the flood washed away all belongings to nearly half the student of QAU. Actually this has been the problem of Pakistan. We are muslim but not a moral people. We go for our benefit always and never think what will happen to the poor and deserving who is being crushed under foot? Now these people will get their fees waived and the money for flood affectees will be doled out for the purpose. this will be written as help to flood affectees while it will actually sheer mis usage of funds and will amount to corruption. I again reiterate that I am not against the help of the student or any thing I feel jealousy. What I try to emphasis is that indeed there will be deserving students but those number is very little. It will not be more than 10 or at most 20. So utmost care should be taken if the funds meant for flood affectees are to be used justly. Recommend

I am also a student of QAU and very sad and upset on this situation at our university. I have seen myself many needy students wondering in search of loan with great embrassment as our deparment also displayed a notice threating to all students that if they will not submit dues they will not considered enrolled in the semester. I feel very sorrow on the selfish and egocentric though of Mr. Asif. He has given comments with out verification and baseless arguments. I invite him to visit our university with me and see which class of students are studing here and how they bear their expenses. Mr. Asif you can contact with me on my cell 03335756965. At last I appriciate the efforts of writer of this article who highlight the blazing issue of poor students of QAU. Recommend

good 2 see one of our teacher comment. I agreed with you people that 1700 of our university students have suddenly left with nothing. Some days I went to a funfair organized by bio dept. I strolled passed the section where the songs were being aired at such volume that it was more like hollywood place but not a university. I m sure that sir asif sitting in his office in Math dept wud b enjoying the positive change of air after such devastating floods which preturbed the whole nation. On my inquiry There in this song section i came to know that the poor and needy students of QAU were paying Rs 100 for a 30 sec song dedication and as much as 500 to play a whole song. The very moment the worst hit students of southern punjab arrived in a group and started an orgy of dance whopping and i left the scene. My respected sir i value ur observation that i ve no clue of the situation but while most of the students were fasting in their home this holy month of Ramzan a little group of student was working day and night under sir idrees of Economics dept day and night for the flood affectees. They made a trip to charsadda and a bigger one to southern punjab. I was a humble part of that. ThanksRecommend
