QUETTA: Various student organisations on Tuesday staged demonstrations inside Balochistan University to protest against the harassment scandal unearthed by the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) a day earlier. The students marched inside the campus to mount pressure on the authorities to punish the culprits allegedly involved in the harassment of female and male students. The protesters lamented that the harassment scandal has severely affected the atmosphere of education in the province in general and at Balochistan University in particular. “This harassment was going on for a long time in the university,” Kabeer Afghan, the central office-bearer of Pashtoonkhwa Students Organisation said. Commenting on the issue, Balochistan University Vice-Chancellor Dr Javed Iqbal said: “We will cooperate with FIA in exposing the elements involved in the scandal.”He dispelled the impression that the FIA had made any arrest from the university.
