Sindh govt lifts ban on student unions

The Sindh government on Friday approved a bill to lift the ban on student unions at educational institutes in the province.

With the development, Sindh became the first province in the country to legalize student unions after a ban of 38 years.

While many student organisations from across the province welcomed the development and touted it as a “historical move,” others expressed their reservations due to the implementational uncertainties about the bill.

Former military ruler General Zia-ul-Haq had imposed a ban on student unions 38 years ago, barring young knowledge-seekers from exercising their right.
