A wave of tension continues to grip Nowshera as allegations surrounding harassment at the Post Graduate College and weeks of uncertainty surrounding the institution have now taken a significant political turn, drawing public attention and intensifying demands for clarity and justice.
In a notable development, Member National Assembly Syed Shah Ahmad Ali Shah has expressed deep concern over the recent protest held at Shobra Chowk and the growing damage to the institution’s reputation. He addressed both protesters and stakeholders, urging them to come forward with facts instead of speculation, while also offering direct contact access to affected female students seeking redress.
The lawmaker assured the mothers and sisters of Nowshera that they should not fear in the pursuit of justice, emphasizing that those responsible for any wrongdoing would be made an example of. His remarks have added a new dimension to an already sensitive situation, shifting the focus toward accountability and evidence-based claims.
Meanwhile, the college administration has firmly rejected all allegations, stating that an active anti-harassment committee is functioning within the institution. Officials further claim that no formal or written complaint has been submitted by any student or parent so far, raising questions over the nature and verification of the accusations being circulated.
The situation has placed the institution under intense scrutiny, with protests and public statements creating an atmosphere of uncertainty over the past three weeks. While emotional reactions continue on both sides, stakeholders are increasingly calling for documented evidence rather than verbal claims or slogans.
With political leadership now directly engaging in the matter, the people of Nowshera appear to be waiting for concrete facts and transparent proceedings. The focus has now shifted to those who initially raised the allegations, as pressure mounts for substantiation and due process to determine the truth behind the controversy.
