GOD FATHERS OF K.U

By Usama Rasheed

I still remember the day when I filled in the university affidavit form for not taking any part in student politics.

Till that point of time it seemed to be appreciable. But, the moment I got exposure to university life, I found out as if I have entered into a new world, where politics was all around and I asked myself , “Why non-political affidavit then?”

Students who are engaged in politics consider themselves as God Fathers.

I would like to mention here one incident, of which I became a victim. I, along with my class fellows, was walking towards the exit gate, all the way from my department. Two “Respected Brothers ;)” on motorbike taunted on us:

“Side main hokar nahi chal saktay”

We were actually walking on the right path. So I rightly replied,

“Aap nahi hosakte”

Hold on……. Did I say something wrong??????? I guess, I did!!!.

They came to me and said,

“Jante nahi hamain (Don’t you know us?)”

Oh my goodness! I realized that they belonged to a political party and the sudden thought of my parents forced me not to exchange any harsh words and I ended up with Sorry. Otherwise someone from my class would be writing a blog on “In memory of Usama Rasheed”. LOL :)
The point to be noted is, never argue with anyone in KU. You never know, your closest friend might belong to a political party. A wake-up call!!!!! LOL

Moreover, the way political students are diffusing corruption in the university is condemnable. I don’t say all are involved in that crime, but I’ve evidences that yes, many are. The procedure is, leave your answer sheet blank, and just remember your copy number. A phone call from a particular party member will go to a professor and he will think thrice, before saying “No”. And that’s how, some students get through their exams.

Note: Not all party students are corrupt.

But this is one benefit you get if you are in a political party. LOL ;)

Students even hide their affiliation with political parties from their families. A very close relative of mine was shifted to a private university, after his parents came to know that their son belongs to a political party.

And the most dangerous situation that can surround the university is Clash of the Titans (political parties). Even, if there is a bad news for any party in USA, it takes its toll on university environment. Due to this, educational activities are often halted. Means, there is always a fear of the existence of politics in the university among students.

Even on the occasion of 14th August, I feel so grieved when I see different party flags, but only a few Pakistani flags, not only in the university but throughout the country. Wish I could see such day once in my life!!!!!!

Note: Not intended to unveil anyone, but it’s time to speak the truth.
