Probe Into Alleged Irregularities at BISE Swat Sought

1 min read

MINGORA: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf-Parliamentarians (PTIP) provincial Vice Chairman Aziz-ul-Haq on September 07 asked the National Accountability Bureau and the Anti-Corruption Establishment to launch an investigation into the alleged irregularities at the Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education (BISE) Swat.

Speaking at a press conference, he alleged that the BISE Swat had turned into a hub of corruption for those at the helm of affairs.

Senior PTIP leaders, including Mian Syed Naeem Khan and Mehboob-ur-Rehman, were also present.

The PTIP leader called for an inquiry into alleged irregularities related to stationery printing, secret funds, and demanded that the long-delayed official board calendar be released.

He accused the board’s chairman and his associates of destroying the examination system through political interference and extorting millions of rupees from students.

He claimed that in the most recent matriculation examinations, around 40,000 students deliberately failed, generating more than Rs100 million in examination fees.

He alleged that students were being charged heavy amounts for the issuance of original certificates and other academic documents.

He said that despite the tendering process, printing of bubble sheets, answer sheets, detailed marks certificates, and other materials was awarded to a blue-eyed printing press, causing huge losses to the national exchequer.

According to him, soon after assuming office, Prof Tasbeehullah canceled the existing printing tender and floated a new one, in which six companies submitted quotations, but only one was accepted while the rest were rejected.

The PTIP leader alleged that a purchasing committee, headed by Secretary Umar Hussain and other officials, was being used to make arbitrary decisions for financial gains. He accused the board of rampant nepotism, pointing out that even an employee recruited as a driver was assigned to work as the personal attendant of a minister’s son instead of serving in the board.
