Student union in Pakistan

Student unions in Pakistan have always played an important role in politics. But in 1984, General Zia -ul -Haq banned student unions across the country. He cited the incidents of violence on campus as the reason. This ban was imposed to prevent political unrest, but due to this, youth leadership and democratic participation had been suppressed for decades.

Big change in Pakistan

In 2022, the ban on student unions in Sindh province was removed. People praised this move. People said that the students union can help solve problems like harassment and lack of democratic participation in the campus. However, the student union of Pakistan is still buried and students union elections are not held everywhere.
