The incident unfolded shortly after PM Kakar’s visit to the university, during which he faced probing questions from some students. One student expressed disappointment over his late arrival, a concern that the prime minister addressed calmly. Subsequently, another student raised questions about the delay in elections in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, while others voiced concerns about certain decisions made by the interim government.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
