HCBF Principal Dr Mubbsher Munawar Khan advised the youth to be proactive when it comes to eradicating the menace of corruption. He urged them to live within their means and preach the same to the elders of their families. “This, when practiced religiously, will eliminate the very reason of corruption,” he said.
A comprehensive, informative and interactive session was conducted by NAB Deputy Director Muhammad Sajid who gave a detailed presentation on the NAB Ordinance. He advised students to read the NAB Ordinance very carefully to keep themselves updated on this vital legislation for national reconstruction. He said it would enable them to keep an eye on their surroundings and watch for the people living beyond their means.

The NAB officials replied to the questions within the framework of legislation. The officials appreciated the interest of students and quality of their questions on national issues.
