Activist Ammar Ali Jan stated on Twitter that Hasnain, who was an M.Phil student of political science In Punjab University, has had his degree cancelled. He added that targeting Jameel was proof of the fact that the ‘corrupt university administrations’ were afraid of the emerging power of students.

With the Students Solidarity March approaching, observers have said that university administrations were taking measures to prevent students mobilising for the march.
