What is Students Solidarity March?

The issued started to heat up when last week, a video of a group of students went viral.

In the video, a woman student can be seen chanting the slogan, “Sarfaroshi Ki Tamanna Ab Hamare Dil Mein Hai.” The footage was reportedly from Karachi, and the participants were members of the Progressive Students’ Collective (PSC), the organizers of this whole event.

In Pakistan, there are nearly 25 active student organizations; 15 of them are in Karachi alone. Over time, these organizations have taken to the streets for their particular demands, but these individual and fragmented movements don’t often yield desired results. To make these demonstrations more effective, these organizations have been united under the banner of the ‘Students Action Committee.’

When Is It Happening?

Under this banner, these organizations are carrying out rallies on the regional level on Friday (today). As per a tweet, PSC’s official Twitter handle, demonstrations are being staged in 50 cities across the country.
