University President Nemat Minouche Shafik said in a statement that days of negotiations between student organizers and academic leaders had failed to persuade demonstrators to remove the dozens of tents set up to express opposition to Israel's bombardment in Gaza.
Sharing the videos of loud cheers from the crowd on his X account, he said: "Those 'shaibi shabi' chants were so heart-touching. I wanted to go out and bowl for all of you again. Goosebumps!!"
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has strongly criticized the appointment of Ishaq Dar as deputy prime minister, accusing the Sharif family of consolidating power within their own ranks.
