In protest against the move, students of the Zakariya University launched a social media campaign against the university administration.

According to reports, the university asked for a rent of only Rs5,000 for the ground.

According to Director Public Relations Dr Sohaib, the university had only given permission for the wedding reception to be conducted in the ground, however, if any destructions were caused then action will be taken against those responsible for the act.

Syed Hussain Akbari | 6 years ago | Reply All the politicians are alike and one form or the other also corrupt. Only one point - Inviting 25000 people for the wedding. Ridiculous and shameless when so many thousands are sleeping breadless.
