According to reports, Professor Khalid Hameed of Government Sadiq Edgerton College was stabbed by his student Khateeb Hussain (5th semester of BS English) during class this morning after they had a heated argument over ‘Welcome Party’.
Khateeb said that the Welcome Party was against the teachings of Islam while the teacher was in support of organizing the event.
“Another life senselessly lost to the religious rot our system stuffs into our children's brains,” says activist Ammar Rashid.

“The young man below has murdered his teacher because he believed that an upcoming welcome party organised by the professor for new students was ‘un-Islamic’. This is what religious extremism has done to us,” says journalist Bilal Farooqi.

Earlier this week, students of the college wrote an application to Deputy Commissioner Bahawalpur and said that the English department was promoting ‘vulgarity’ in the name of the Welcome Party which was to held on Thursday (March 21).
The students asked the DC to stop promotion of ‘European culture’ which was totally ‘against the Islamic values’.
