The education caliber prevailing in Pakistan is gradually moving towards a completely different dimension without any heed being paid towards the learner’s growth. Every now and then, cases of students complaining about the unjust fee structure without providing any proper facilities are portrayed on the mainstream media but no one to look upon to. Recently, another horrible incident took place in the Islamabad campus of Bahria University where a student lost her life due to the institute’s negligence.
23-years-old Haleema Amin of Bahria University in Islamabad passes away!
In the last few years, Bahria University has slowly lost its credibility attached to its name because of the severe cases happened in its different campuses across Pakistan. Earlier this year in July, an engineering student ended his life due to the stress of failing in the Islamabad campus of the same institute. Yesterday, a second-semester student, 23-years-old Haleema Amin of Bahria University, Islamabad fell from the fourth floor of the under-construction Business block and later passed away.
No fence, no safety measures, this is the spot that took the student’s life!

Since yesterday, the case has picked up severe heat and the university administration was told several times before to not conduct classes in the under-construction block but they were so busy counting numbers that no one showed any interest. Now the administration is saying that no classes were being held in that block and the deceased Haleema went there for a ‘selfie’ against their permission.
Bahria University tries to manipulate the masses!
According to media reports, the institute was taking regular classes in the yet to be completed building since the second week of September which the administration is now denying. There are factual proofs circulating on social platforms that clearly shows the institute’s money-minting agenda and how they have been risking its student’s life for a month.
The classes schedule on the university’s website which was removed after the tragic incident. Classes were being taken on the fourth floor of the affected building while the administration is busy spitting lies!
Soon after Haleema fell, her fellow students along with the administration took her to Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) where she was first aid. According to the doctor, the student had multiple fractures and her backbone was also affected when she was brought the hospital and she expired later that afternoon. After the news came out, Haleema was taken out of the hospital by the same people.
As the issue became public, the internet got filled with chants of justice and Pakistanis are demanding strict action against the institute. Hashtag #JusticeForHaleema is also trending on Twitter with a wave of posts throwing truthful facts on the face of Bahria University.
Federal Minister of Human Rights, Shireen Mazari also tweeted on the incident!

Well, the students of the university have arranged peaceful protest against the management and are demanding justice for Haleema Amin. Reportedly, parents of the deceased 23-years-old student are being pressurized to step back by the administration who are trying to divert the blame on others. Its high time the justice system of Pakistan should finally prevail or else we’ll keep on losing precious lives.
