IIUI to accord priority to Balochistan students


ISLAMABAD: International Islamic University Islamabad (IIUI) is the leading institution, which has always enrolled maximum students from Balochistan in comparison of other universities of Pakistan.

These views were expressed by university’s acting President Dr Mumtaz Ahmed during 15th Islamic training programme for the students of Balochistan organised by Children’ Literature Department of Dawah Academy and Iqbal Institute for Research and Dialogue on Thursday. Balochistan was ignored since emergence of the country but now special measures taken by the present government show that it really desires to improve the situation of province on priority basis.

Dr Mumtaz Ahmed said it was quite unfortunate that after 1972 no representative government was formed in the province due to that the situation of Balochistan could not improve.

On the occasion, he assured that IIUI would not only accommodate the students from Balochistan on priority basis, but would also provide financial assistance.

“He stressed upon the Baloch students that they should work hard for development of the country. An organised, lawful and constitutional struggle for the achievement of prerogatives becomes successful,” Mumtaz said. Earlier, IIUI Vice President and Dawah Academy Director General Sahibzada Sajid-ur-Rehman while addressing the ceremony said that Balochistan is that remarkable part of the country, which has valuable contribution in Pakistan movement. online
