Talking about the updates on the issue, Dr. Masoom said that the university administration has formed high power committees that are going to submit reports very soon. He said an operation is underway at male hostels with the help of Islamabad administration to avoid such happening in the future. He said that committees formed under the patronage of IIUI President Dr. Ahmed Yousif Al-Draiweesh, are working hard to conclude reports. He furthered that he is in contact with the IIUI President regarding developments on the issues. He also hailed IIUI President for his untiring efforts to maintain peace at campus and find reasons of the carnage.
Dr. Masoom said that IIUI has been a torch bearer of peace for last four decades. He said IIUI’s top priority is to discourage violence. He vowed that university will launch courses and programmes to nurture students so that they become ambassadors of peace in the society. He appealed to public to support IIUI saying that institution is passing through tough times. He hoped that with help of society IIUI will once again emerge as a full of life and peaceful education institution.
