LAHORE
Punjab University (PU) Vice-Chancellor Prof Dr Mujahid Kamran has said the genocide of the Muslims is going on and they are facing destruction only because of lack of knowledge.
He said this while speaking at the 123rd convocation of the varsity in which 100 PhD, 618 MPhil/MS, 289 Masters, 156 undergraduate degrees and 173 medals distributed among the students. A total of 1336 degrees, medals and prizes were distributed.
Controller of Examinations Prof Dr Shahid Munir, Additional Controllers Rauf Nawaz, Shahid Javed, deans of all faculties, heads of various departments, senior faculty members and a large number of degree holder students were present. PU VC further said conspiracies were being hatched to divide Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and Saudi Arab into pieces. He said the Muslims' comprehension of their religion was also incorrect. Dr Mujahid Kamran further said the Muslims were so much ignorant that they even could not count their dead bodies and this work was done by an Australian Jewish scientist Gideon Polya. He said that in his book “Body Count” Gideon Polya had revealed that there had been 1.3 billion avoidable deaths during the period 1950-2005 of which 600 million were Muslims. Dr Mujahid Kamran said Afghan nation had the passion to fight and was an asset for the Muslims. He said in the recent Afghan War, around 4.9 million Afghans had been killed out of which 1.2 million were killed in bombings and 3.7 million Afghans died of diseases and lack of medicines till 2010. He said 2.7 million Iraqis were killed in the recent Iraq War and five million children had become orphans. He said both wars were imposed on the basis of false pretext.
PU VC said our journalists and columnists should focus on these issues and highlight these problems. He said our governments in the past did not give appropriate attention to education. He said prioritising education was a matter of understanding for both leadership and the people.
