Karachi University Teachers Association (KUTS) has strongly condemned the alleged violence against Karachi University Professor Dr Afaq Ahmed Siddiqui by a Rangers official in Staff Town, Karachi University Campus.
According to sources, the incident occurred two days ago when Professor Afaq Ahmed asked an rangers not to burn garbage in front of his house, as the smoke was causing difficulty in breathing. This led to a heated exchange, after which the personnel reportedly slapped him. As a result, the professor's glasses broke and he sustained an injury near his eye.
Residents of the area gathered at the scene and informed the university administration about the incident. KUTS stated that the assault on the professor is extremely unacceptable, raising serious concerns about the safety of faculty members. The organisation has called a special meeting on Thursday to discuss the incident.
