Islamabad: The Pakhtun Students Federation (PSF), an allied student wing of Pakistan’s Awami National Party (ANP), has condemned the police baton charge over a peaceful protest in Peshawar University campus last week.

According to the students' body, hundreds of PSF workers were severely injured in baton charge, and hundreds arrested after students demanded basic rights at the university campus, reports ANI.

Samar Haroon Bilour of the Awami National Party tweeted: "The arrest of innocent @PukhtoonSF operatives by the police while providing legal cover to ISF thugs is a very dictatorial move, making it clear that the provincial government is using the police to fulfill its political ambition. "
