- St. Pats Socialist Students Federation
St. Pats Socialist Students Federation (SPSSF) was a
Left-wing student organization formed in 1985 by a group of disgruntledSocialist andMarxist activists ofNational Students Federation (NSF). The SPSSF was first given shape by NSF leaders at Saint Patrick's Government College inKarachi ,Pakistan , especially byNadeem F. Paracha , Ali Kazmi and Umair Chapra. These student leaders had accused NSF's top leadership of failing to do enough to tackle the emergence ofRight-wing student groups and theIslamist dictatorship ofMohammad Zia-ul-Haq . SPSSF organized a series of protests against the dictatorship and especially against a number of right-wingProfessor s at the college. Many of these protests turned violent when SPSSF workers started to attack vehicles belonging to theGovernment and theArmy . SPSSF faded away after its main leadership left the college in early 1987 with Nadeem F. Paracha and Ali Kazmi starting Pakistan's firstAnarchist newsletter,The Arousal .ee also
