The Higher Education Commission (HEC) took the decision after a video of a celebration of the Hindu religious festival at the Quaid-i-Azam University (QAU) in Islamabad went viral on social media.
Pakistan former Prime Minister Imran Khan has said that he will continue to fight for rule of law and won't surrender even if the government puts him in jail.
Punjab Police, Rangers and other security personnel waited for the Friday prayers to be over, before entering the former PM’s residence.
Pakistan's current Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa is going to retire this year as his extension for three years ends in November.
"I respect the judiciary but one has to speak the truth on the floor of the National Assembly," Sharif said while addressing a session of the National Assembly here.
The sectors on which this “super tax” will be levied include cement, steel, sugar, oil and gas, fertilisers, LNG terminals, textile, banking, automobile, cigarettes, beverages and chemicals, the Pak PM said.
PM Imran Khan had skipped the assembly session today, despite deciding earlier to attend the session. His supporters were seen on the streets, protesting as he asked them to earlier.
Imran Khan's premiership is faced with a massive challenge posed by the opposition alliance, comprising of at least 20 opposition parties who have now decided to take on Imran Khan and ensure that he is off-thrown his seat as the Prime Minister of the country, through a no-confidence vote in the National Assembly of Pakistan.
A Pakistani court has issued a notice to Prime Minister Imran Khan in a defamation case filed by PML-N president Shahbaz Sharif seeking early hearing of his suit against the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman, pending for three years.
The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) had taken Shahbaz Sharif, Opposition Leader in the National Assembly and younger brother of ousted prime minister Nawaz Sharif, into custody on October 5 in the Rs 14 billion Ashiana-i-Iqbal housing project scam.
According to a report, Shahbaz was detained by NAB officials and his car was sent away. His private staff who accompanied him as security were also asked to leave.
In his first address after officially taking the reins of the party, the younger Sharif said no one from the party can replace Nawaz Sharif -- the former Prime Minister who was ousted by the country's apex court last year.
The PML-N elected its new head days after the Supreme Court disqualified 68-year-old Nawaz as the chief of his party and struck down all decisions taken by him as the party head.
Shahbaz's statement comes days after President Trump alleged that Pakistan received billions of dollars in aid but did not act against "terrorist havens" in the country.
Shahbaz Sharif is looking to nominate his son Hamza as his replacement as Punjab CM to keep the position in the family.
Prime Minister Sharif has been asked to appear before the JIT tomorrow. It is for the first time that a sitting prime minister would appear before a high-level probe team.
