Rana Abdul Jabbar said that PML-N Government was hoodwinking the people of South Punjab by announcing new institutions and closing the existing ones. He said that Women college Kutchery road was given to women University consequently its fee shot up to Rs.45,000 per annum from Rs.5000 to 6000 and parents forced to shift their daughters to other colleges.

Nawaz Sharif University of Engineering& Technology was housed in Technical Institute Qasimpur Colony, Nawaz Sharif Agriculture University was established  in a middle school  for girls. The fight to reopen Women College has swelled among students and alumnae, two year after Women University took over its building that ended the historic women’s college's days as a stand-alone institution in the heart of the city.They demanded that women university must be shifted to Mati-tal road where the land was acquired for this project.They said that a vast area was required for universities but present regime was housing these universities in schools and colleges to placate the Saraiki people who are demanding a separate province.The closure of Government Post Graduate College for women  Multan “brought everyone closer together,” he said, adding that having such a college “was something we took for granted before. Now we realize what it really meant, it looks more meaningful to us.” A student of the College said “It was really powerful to be part of a women’s college in the South,” . “As a  graduate of this college you kind of carry that torch. I don’t know if I would have given  a thought if there hadn’t been that college connection.”
