They emphasized that this decision could jeopardize the future of the 500 students currently enrolled at the college. Students argue that their institution is already affiliated with Peshawar University, making the move to FATA University confusing and unnecessary.
The students demanded that their Members of the National Assembly (MNA), Members of the Provincial Assembly (MPA), and higher education authorities revoke the decision to affiliate Landi Kotal Postgraduate College with FATA University. "We accept the affiliation with Peshawar University; otherwise, we will begin an indefinite protest until our demands are met," the students warned.
