Thank you, Hon. Speaker. This is a very important Petition that needs to be given the right treatment. If we want to implement Vision 2030 of developing politics of this country based on issues, we must allow students in our school systems and universities, to be responsible and practice democracy through universal suffrage. It was wrong to withdraw the right to exercise of one man, one vote, in universities by the university authorities ostensibly to control the political freedom of students.
