Aitchison College shuts doors to LHC restored Principal

LAHORE - The restored Principal of Aitchison College, Dr Agha Ghazanfar, was refused entry in the college premises on Thursday by the security guards.
Sources in the college said that there are two types of security: college’s recruited guards and another private security company’s guards.
Gull Sikandar, the Aitchison College’s security officer said he had no objection on Dr Agha’s entry after the LHC restored him as the Principal. He added it were the security guards of a private company who refused entry to Dr Agha Ghazanfar.
Dr Agha was restored as the Principal last week and returned yesterday from United Kingdom.
He was removed by the Aitchison College Board of Governors (BOGs) last month for allegedly refusing admissions to scions of some influential families on kinship basis.
Mr Agha says he will approach the court today to file a contempt of court against the college’s administration.
The BoGs had appointed Aitchison Headmaster Ameer Hassan as the acting principal, who is now refusing to leave the charge, sources told The Nation.
According to the sources, the acting principal instructed the security staff not to let the restored Principal, Agha Ghazanfar, enter the college premises.
“After LHC decision, Ameer Hassan should leave the Principal office and return all perks enjoying,” a teacher of the college said.
The Aitchison College will re-open on August 31, while students and their parents have expressed concerns about the confusing situation.
The acting principal could not be reached for comments.
