Political assault on education

With the efforts of courageous, dedicated and motivated personalities despite the fear of being attacked by the fanatic infiltrators, the educational standards are improving in our country. On one hand our universities are taking considerable positions in World ranking as well as in national level ranking while on the other hand they are being attacked by the fractions of the society who are adversaries of education and learning. Political violence is another dimension which has added fuel to the fire in order to discourage these educational institutions to progress well. In such a scenario people equipped with pen and paper are left with no choice but to lock themselves in office at a time when executive and official of state machinery attacked them. More than a week has been passed when Member Provincial Assembly belonging to PML-N exercised his power in the university premises and tried to impose his orders on the university administration.
