LAHORE: (Friday, October 14, 2016): The Punjab University spokesman has said that the IJT’s protest was baseless, based on lies and misleading information and these are the IJT activists who create problems for security staff. In a press statement issued here on Friday, the PU spokesman said that the administration had tightened security on campus while IJT activists try to breach PU security and create hurdles. He said that PU administration had taken several steps in order to improve security on campus and everybody knew that PU security had improved manifold. He said that CCTV cameras had been installed on campus and each person and vehicle was being checked at entry/exit points. He said that the real reason behind the IJT’s protest was that the administration had expunged hostels from illegal residents being protected by IJT. He said that IJT had also demanded opening of gates which had been closed keeping in view security threats. However, he said, the PU administration would not accept their pressure and their demands. He said that IJT activists were behind various crimes on campus and several FIRs had also been registered against IJT goons in the past.
