And Dr. Shahid Hussain Bokhari Quits… I am Tauseef Aized, also a faculty member at UET. At the moment doing research in Japan.
I have read the letter written by Dr. Bukhari to HEC. I have had the opportunity to listen to Dr. Bukhari in the University during some meetings. He is a good speaker and writer. There is no doubt he is the most brillant Faculty member at UET, alas we have lost him. But honestly speaking, his letter did not substantiate the issues.

1. He says that Basic Sciences Programs should not be started at all, but no proper reasoning is there, why not that? The reason could be that this institution was primarliy built for Eng. studies and all the resources should be devoted to that. But he says that the good standard can not be achieved? Why that can not be achieved. If it is poor right now, Dr. Bukhari must ponder over the issue how that can be improved.

2. The shoratge of faculty members is a justified point in his letter, as we all have to devote all the time to teach and do not have enough time to concentrate on research.

3. I am not a over enthusiastic person, but even if people like him just run away from the scenes, how the things can be put on the right track. Why not to struggle more and more to put the things right on the track. He is a great man and no great man in his life is avoiding difficult situations.

I would not have written all these, if he is just an ordinary faculty member, he is a man of conviction, he must not run away. Also, Dr. Sb. hitting the targets require a composed behaviour and emotional ways can never do something good. I hope you wo`not minfd this.
