ISLAMABAD: Islami Jamiat-e-Talba (IJT) staged a protest on Monday in Islamic University Islamabad (IUI) against fee hike and lack of facilities for students yesterday. The students of IUI have been staging protests since days as they face extreme difficulties due to poor performance of university administration, IJT said. The protesters demanded a reduction in exorbitant rise in fees, shortage of hostels and classrooms, lack of sports facilities and substandard food in the cafeteria. According to the IJT spokesperson, they were having a dialogue with the university administration but no positive response was given as the university president was currently abroad. He added that the sphere of protest would be expanded if the issues were not resolved.
