Summary The free use of iron and wooden sticks and stone-pelting turned the campus into a battle field.
PESHAWAR (Web Desk) - Clash erupted in the Peshawar University over the celebration of Valentine s Day injuring 3 students.
As per details, one student group of the university was celebrating the Valentine’s Day and the other group was celebrating “Haya Day” leading to a clash that turned violent on Friday.
Reports said the clash erupted when PSF, a student wing of the Awami National Party (ANP), attempted to organized an event in connection with Valentine Day which is being observed today. The holding of such an event infuriated supporters of IJI, a student wing of politico-religious Jamaat-e-Islami.
The free use of iron and wooden sticks and stone-pelting turned the campus into a battle field and three students injured.
The clash prompted police to intervene. Heavy contingents of the law-enforcers entered the university premises and fired shot in the air to disperse the angry students. However, the angry mob also clashed with police.
Some IJT workers entered university’s New Hostel and ransacked rooms occupied by the rival group. Books and furniture were also set on fire outside the hostel rooms.
