Government to campaign for ‘Yes’ vote in referendum across classrooms

The campaign encompasses schools, colleges, universities, and madrasas

A nationwide campaign has been planned across all schools, colleges, universities, and madrasas to encourage students to vote ‘Yes’ in the referendum.

As part of the campaign, leaflets and booklets titled “Yes for Change” will be distributed among students.

Documentary films, video clips, and songs produced on the referendum will be released on mobile platforms and on university social media pages.

Banners, festoons, and stickers will be displayed across university and college campuses.

The decision was taken at a meeting held on Sunday afternoon at the University Grants Commission (UGC), according to a media statement issued by the Chief Advisor’s Office, published on the Chief Advisor’s verified Facebook page.

Speaking at the meeting, the Chief Advisor’s Special Assistant Ali Riaz said the referendum would reflect the aspiration to dismantle a “fascist state structure” and establish a genuinely democratic system through state reform.

“There is no alternative to a ‘Yes’ in the referendum if we are to establish a humane and democratic state,” he said.
