  • Is it not true that an university official of a university in Islamabad’s National Park road had university funds in his sister-in law’s account for bank statement required for a visa ?

    Is it not true that an university official in Peshawar had university funds in his accounts of his two sons who later went to study in UK ?

    HEC, Federal government, provincial governments have failed to come up with any policy where Public sector universities should have bank accounts only in NBP and any chance of using public funds in personal accounts should be eliminated.

  • NAB under this current chairman has become a joke. Just show off stunts. Shameless man is still enjoying luxury on Tax Payers’ expense despite of SC remarks which say that NAB has died in front of our own eyes when its chairman himself admits in court that he can’t do anything about corruption of top politicians. This man deserves public execution.
