The students were invited on the directions Education Minister Naeem Akhtar to witness the grants on Education Department table in the House.
The students, however, left dejected after the House was adjourned due to disruptions by the opposition over transfer of power projects to the state.

Some of the students also said that they were not able to understand the functioning of the House, due to chaos. Minister for Education Naeem Akhtar said, “we wanted students to get aware on Education grants, so that must know about the future course of action prepared by the government to boost the education sector.”
He termed the adjournment unfortunate and criticised the opposition for disrupting the House and not giving a “good message” outside to the people. (Agencies)
