LAHORE: The Punjab University security guards and Islami Jamiat Tulba (IJT) activists clashed over holding a grand Iftar dinner on the new campus without permission on Thursday.

Reports said the IJT activists were entering the university with eatables when the guards stopped them at Gate No 4. The activists attacked the guards who had to step back and call the police.

A PU spokesperson said the IJT activists did not seek permission from the administration for the event and hence no political activity can be allowed underthe guise ofIftar.

He said the IJT broke open the lock of the university gate to bring catering material inside.

He said the IJT `goons` carrying sticks also injured the security guard at the gate. He said the university administration informed the police about the incident.

IJT spokesperson Fasihur Rehman said the administration was creating problems to hold the Iftar dinner on the campus. Staff Reporter
