Torture of PSF office-bearer condemned

THE Peoples Students Federation (PSF), Punjab, has condemned the alleged torture of PSF Punjab general secretary and demanded the Pakistan Peoples Party leadership take notice of the incident.

Addressing a press conference at Lahore Press Club on Saturday, PSF Punjab General Secretary Zohaib Butt and other office-bearers alleged that he (Zohaib Butt) was tortured when PSF activists were chanting slogans for restoration of student unions and rights of students during the district convention of the party at Kasur on Jan 30.

They alleged that some men of Pakistan Peoples Party Central Executive Committee member Ch Manzoor Ahmed were responsible for torture of the PSF Punjab general secretary.

They said the Pakistan Peoples Party leaders sitting on stage during the convention acted as silent spectators and did nothing when Zohaib Butt was being tortured. They demanded the PPP either abolish its student wing or give proper representation to it and solve its problems.

He began his political career as a student leader when in 1971 he was elected president of the National Students Federation, a wing of the Mazdoor Kisan Party. But even before that he had met the founding chairman of Pakistan People's Party, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, in Lahore during the party's first convention. In 1972, on Bhutto's advice, he formed People's Students' Federation in the Frontier and became its first secretary- general.
