Federation of All Pakistan Universities Academic Staff Association (FAPUASA), Sindh chapter, will hold a protest in Karachi on January 28 after the association's campus premises protests failed to budge the Sindh government.
FAPUASA General Secretary Abdul Rehman Nangraj said on Sunday that the lawyers, civil society representatives and Sindh Professors and Lecturers Association (SPLA) will join their protests.
The announcement came after an online meeting. The varsity teachers have been up in arms against the government on the controversy of a proposed legislation to allow bureaucrats to be appointed as the vice chancellors of the public sector universities. FAPUASA, however, demands that the government should stick to the existing criteria of eligibility of senior professors.
According to Nangraj, the Sindh chapter has requested FAPUASA Pakistan to declare a nationwide black day against the government's plan in addition to fighting the province's case before Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif and President Asif Ali Zardari. The general secretary disclosed that the teachers will also consult lawyers to file a petition to restrain the provincial government from going ahead with the legislation.
He said FAPUASA also strongly condemns Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah's remarks about professors which, he asserted, were derogatory.
