KU teachers association boycott classes for two days

The Karachi University Teachers' Association on Tuesday announced a boycott of classes for two more days against the behaviour of the secretary boards’ University of Sindh.

A day earlier, Secretary Mureed Rahimo had postponed the convening of the Selection Board without seeking prior permission. The board meeting was held regarding the appointment of a professor.

Speaking at a press conference President of the Teachers’ Union Shah Ali Al-Qadr said that the teachers of Karachi University believe the secretary board attacked the university's sovereignty by deliberately suspending the selection board that was to be convened on Monday.

“This is an act of dictatorship,” the union’s president said. “A dera system is being introduced in Sindh. If he had an objection on the issue, he could have written a note which is a right of every member of the selection board.”

Qadir added that such a secretary should be "fired" and said such a "ridiculous attitude" taken against the teachers would not be tolerated.

The union’s president further said that a meeting of the association would be held on Thursday to discuss the future course of action.
