ISLAMABAD: Jamaat-e-Islami Emir Senator Sirajul Haq on Thursday participated in the sit-in of the university teachers against the anti-education policies of the Higher Education Commission. Addressing on occasion, he announced full support to the demands of protesting teachers and criticized the government for not paying any attention to the problems of the government employees.
“The PTI government destroyed every sector in two years,” he said, adding the claims the prime minister to bring reforms in education and health sectors on priority basis not only proved an eye-wash, both sector became worst victim of the PTI government policies. It was matter of grave concern, he said, that the government made a huge cut in the budget of higher education institutions, teachers took to the streets for their demands and the government was acting as silent spectator.
