The administration of the Preston University was left red faced when one of its students chanted “Go Nawaz Go” during the speech of Planning Minister Ahsan Iqbal.
The minister was addressing the launching ceremony of Dr Azizur Rehman’s book The True Face of Islam. The registrar of the university H W Baloch came on the stage and said “take this student out of the hall”.
The federal minister continuing his speech wondered “what sort of political training is this that such slogans are raised in a literary gathering.” Later talking to the Daily Express the minister said youth are our assets and he has asked the university administration to give that young man some counselling.
