University of Engineering and Technology (UET) Peshawar on Wednesday served second explanation notice to Associate Professor Dr Sajjad Wali Khan (BPS-20) Department of Civil Engineering over alleged taunting remarks on Twitter against Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Minister for Higher Education Kamran Khan Bangash.
A letter issued here said that the remarks of the professor were defamatory against the minister who is also the Pro-VC of the university.
Despite denial of the professor about his remarks against the minister, the UET establishment asked the senior teacher to re-submit his reply within seven days of the notice.
It is to be mentioned here that the associate professor allegedly replied to a tweet by education minister saying that, “Your attention is more on establishment of new university for political gains rather than quality of education. Your government is simply unable to run the existing universities of K-P; destroyed all existing universities of K-P, brought them on the verge of financial collapse, diverted all funds towards UET Swat.”
