Lahore, June 24, 2021 (PPI-OT):A Punjab University spokesman has stated that a conspiracy has been hatched to defame Punjab University through transportation of liquor bottles at PU’s entry gate, which were held at the gate due to strict security SoPs. In a press statement, he said that recently, a good news regarding improvement of PU’s international ranking had arrived which was acknowledged at the international level. However, he said, some elements could not digest it and had made another attempt to defame the university through such cheap tactics.
In support of his stance, the spokesman elaborated that whenever PU improved ranking in the past three years, the incidents of clashes surprisingly happened during the same days just to tarnish the achievements of the university whenever the ranking institutions issued rankings. The spokesman said that baseless propaganda regarding usage of prohibited material in university was being fanned instead of appreciating the staff which took action and remained vigilant as per SoPs of their duty.
He said that it was an important question that how a person could deliver liquor in such an open style on a motorcycle bearing the 20 liquor bottles in a common shopping bag at a place where there is tight security mechanism and he has to pass through security checkpoints at the entry gates? He said that the way the incident has happened revealed that the planners of the conspiracy wanted that the bottles to be checked and held at the university and thus the university could be defamed.
The spokesman said that some elements were trying to damage the peaceful atmosphere of PU but the administration always took action against such elements as per law. The spokesman said that the university administration would not allow any such effort to succeed which was aimed at defaming the university.
