A government school was vandalized in Shah Faisal Town, Karachi last night by unknown people for naming it ‘Shaukat Khanum’.
‘Shaukat Khanum’ was the mother of Imran Khan, the former prime minister and PTI founder.
The administration said that unknown individuals entered the school at night and damaged the building. “ They have objection over the school name,” the administration added.
Some individuals also expressed discontent by chalking “Shaukat Khanum na manzoor” (Shaukat Khanum not accepted) on the walls.
After the incident was reported, police arrived at the scene and began an investigation.
The school recently underwent renovations costing approximately Rs4 to Rs5 million.
Scheduled for today, the opening ceremony was set to be led by Shah Faisal Town Chairman Goher Khattak, but the vandalism occurred beforehand.
The school administration planned to file a case against the unknown perpetrators. They also reported slogans against a charitable organization were found on the building.
Chairman Khattak has called for immediate action against those responsible.
