Former senator and PPP Human Rights Cell President, Farhatullah Babar, has condemned the decision to allocate £190 millionreturned by the British government to Pakistanfor the construction of another university in Islamabad. He called the move whimsical, flawed, and undemocratic. Farhatullah Babar criticised the decision for being made behind closed doors without debate, especially during a time of economic instability, rising debt, and financial crises in provinces like Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan. He argued that spending Rs70 billion on a new university is irrational when existing universities are struggling with a Rs60 billion shortfall, leading to salary and pension delays, strikes, and possible closures. The people of Pakistan still do not know the mystery behind the £190 million transferred from the UK to Pakistan. The abrupt decision to build a university with this money has only compounded the mystery and raised many questions that need to be answered. If at all, this money legitimately belongs to the government of Pakistan, then it can be legitimately demanded that it be spent on education in all provinces, and not merely on building one university in Islamabad, he said.
