What are you doing ? He told me to step back or I will shoot. As soon as he spoke of the bullet I immediately jumped on him & firmly held his hand & turned towards the sky & then sound of fire rang in my ears. I held his hand more firmly after which my other companions grabbed him from behind.
This story was told by Quaid-e-Azam University Professor Dr. Ishtiaq Ali to British news who foiled an assassination attempt on the vice chancellor of university participating in the flag hoisting ceremony in Islamabad federal capital of Pakistan on the morning of Pakistan's Independence Day.
According to university registrar Raja Qaiser the incident took place after the flag hoisting ceremony at the Central Library when a man pulled a pistol on the vice chancellor & fired 3 shots.
Vice Chancellor Dr. Muhammad Ali Shah confirmed the attack on him to the BBC and said that he survived today because of his colleague's presence of mind.

Islamabad Police have arrested the accused : registered a case of this incident. In his initial statement accused has told the police that he has been working for seven or eight years on a very low salary but he is not being given permanent employment.
According to Dr. Ishtiaq Ali As soon as the accused placed the pistol on the vice chancellor's couch I was standing about one meter away with two other colleagues at that time. I immediately shouted and said What are you doing? Just as soon as the words of bullet came out of his tongue then without thinking jumped on him and held his hand.
Vice Chancellor did not panic at all.
He said that he did all this within two or three seconds and the main reason for his success was that the Vice Chancellor did not panic at all & stood with great composure due to which the accused could not succeed in his intention.
According to Dr. Ishtiaq when he was holding the accused hand, he was trying to somehow free his hand & fire at the vice chancellor.
According to him in this attempt accused fired three shots but fortunately, all the people present there including the Vice Chancellor were miraculously safe.
