LAHORE:Vice Chancellor of Punjab University (PU) and Government College University Lahore (GCU) Prof. Dr. Asghar Zaidi along with teachers visited Mazar-e-Iqbal and laid wreaths and offered Fateha there.
According to PU spokesman here on Wednesday, the VC paid rich homage to Dr. Allama Muhammad Iqbal while noting down comments in the visitors log.
On this occasion, the Vice Chancellor said, “Iqbal Day is actually a day of accountability for us.
