Students of the Government Postgraduate College in Landi Kotal have rejected the college's affiliation with FATA University and announced a protest sit-in outside the college gate on Thursday morning.
Addressing a press conference at the Landi Kotal Press Club, the college's student union president Daud, vice president Muhammad Asif, general secretary Muhammad Shoaib, Shayan Khan, and other students expressed their concerns. They stated that they completely oppose the decision to affiliate their college with FATA University.
The students highlighted that provincial ministers Muhammad Adnan Qadri and Meena Khan, along with other officials, had assured them several times that their demands would be addressed. However, even after three months, no resolution has been provided, causing significant disruption to their academic schedules. As a result, the students have decided to stage a protest sit-in that will continue until their demands are met.
