LAHORE: Governor Punjab Chaudhry Muhammad Sarwar ordered an inquiry against Government College University (GCU) Vice Chancellor Dr Asghar Zaidi upon the petition of Chairman of GCU Computer Science Department Dr Syed Asad Raza Kazmi, who accused the GCU VC of harassment and threats.

“With a heavy heart I wish to bring it to your knowledge an unfortunate incident that took place in the University, I feel ashamed to even narrate the same, but to avoid serious conflict and lest it is repeated with other faculty and or staff and in the best interest of this great institution, I feel it is my duty to inform of the ill behavior of the very person, who should have been a role model for others as per tradition of this great institution.

“Sir, I assure you that there are other such incidents that also took place, but due to fear and threats the faculty and staff members preferred to keep quiet. Sir, on 02-03-2021 at about 3:30pm the Vice-Chancellor GC University Lahore Prof. Dr. Asghar Zaidi came to my office on a surprise visit along with three other persons including Dr. Sohail Ahmed the Chairperson of Department of Statistics,” the letter reads.
