If you have done matriculation with an excellent percentage from Punjab Board in recent years and haven’t received your richly deserved CM scheme laptop, you will truly understand the pain of 2014 Batch.
As per the Chief Minister e-Youth Initiative under Youth Development Program’s overview: “The objective is to provide free laptops to 100 thousand brilliant students currently studying at public sector colleges and universities or are high achievers of the Boards of Punjab in Matriculation Examinations.”
However quite unfortunately, dispersion of these laptops stopped when the turn came for 2014 Batch and allocated money was spent in Orange Line Metro Train.
Now when once again this scheme was rehabilitated and laptops were distributed again, 2014 batch was ignored altogether. After being ignored continuously for 3 years, students from different universities of Punjab have unified their efforts to form a trend on Twitter under the hashtag #JusticeFor2014Batch
Use #Justicefor2014batch and protest for your your right. Why is 2014 batch being ignored in cm laptop scheme?

Other students also said yes to this call and gave their point of view using #JusticeFor2014Batch
We equally deserve the laptops like the other hardworking batches have. @CMShehbaz we need our laptops on our merit! #Justicefor2014batch

Some thought laptop scheme was only meant to attract voters
شاید لیپ ٹاپ صرف گنے چنے سٹوڈنٹس کو ملنے تھے۔شاید وہ اپنے ووٹ پکے کررہے تھے۔ایسے چند اور سوال زہن میں آتے ہیں#JusticeFor2014Batch

Meanwhile, everyone kept looking for CM himself and Maryam Nawaz’s response

Still, the students are unwilling to give up. They intend to fight for their rights till the time their voice is heard.
