Quaid-e-Azam University (QAU) has closed its campus from Friday to Monday in light of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) protest on November 24 and potential road closures in the capital.
According to a notification issued by the university administration, all academic activities will remain suspended on Friday and Monday, including scheduled exams. The university's transport service will also remain unavailable on these days.
The administration emphasized that academic activities and exams will only resume once the roads reopen in the area.
“To ensure fairness, students will be provided with adequate time to prepare for and retake the postponed exams,” the notification added.
A few days ago, PTI leader Barrister Saif said preparations were underway to stage the protest and public gathering on November 24 (Sunday) in the federal capital. Expressing his thoughts, Saif stated, "A large number of people will make their way to the public gathering in Islamabad. The party bigwigs are holding meetings in this regard.”
“We [PTI] have not used the public machinery in our gatherings. The availability of the rescue services is mandatory in case of any untoward incident,” Saif added. He maintained: “The purpose of staging the protest is to ensure the release of the PTI founder and rest of the leadership.”
