ISLAMABAD: The spokesman of International Islamic University (IIU), Nasir Farid categorically rejecting the news regarding rape of female students of the varsity has termed it as pack of lies.
In a clarification statement, he said that the university has already formed a harassment committee to deal with such issues but no intimation or complaint was filed to this committee and neither any such complaint was conveyed to the university security office.
Nasir Farid was of the view that the university deals with such happenings with an iron hand and the management has left no stone unturned to ensure protection of the students.
The IIUI remained deprived of the prerogative of its version on the fabricated story which was quite unfortunate as it should be a direct concern of impartial news-reporting to listen to the organization’s response, he added.
Talking about the campus life, he said that at IIUI, more than 30 thousand male and female students acquire quality education in the light of Islamic teachings and there is a zero tolerance policy practiced in response of any negative activity.
Mentioning the separate campus for the female students, the university spokesman said that university ensures to implement the discipline and devised code of conduct to ensure a peaceful teaching and learning milieu at campus.
The IIUI spokesman said this inopportune news has been disseminated at the time when university has launched its admission campaign. He said it is an effort to sabotage the university image. He hoped that media would play a role to foil defamation attempts against university.
