The Federal Investigations Agency Multan (FIA) has booked a teacher involved in organizing a protest against Punjab Public Service Commission (PPSC)’s alleged corruption and raising voice against alleged injustices/irregularities by the body on social media.
A deputy director of PPSC had filed a complaint against Muhammad Bilal. This year in January, Anti-Corruption Establishment (ACE) Punjab had unearthed mega scandals of “selling of job papers” through the involvement of PPSC employees. ACE in a raid had arrested the suspects red-handed leaking the paper two hours before the exams for the seat of “Tehsildar”.
ACE had come into action after a large number of students had staged a protest against alleged “leaking of Tehsildar paper”. Few lower cadre employees of PPSC were taken into custody.
The fingers towards few senior officers were also raised. Few horrible revelations of selling the papers for various posts for millions of rupees were made during ACE investigations. However, after sacrifice of a few pawns, initiation of legal action against few lower-cadre PPSC officials, the case gradually vanished from the scene.
The accused Bilal and PPSC job aspirants however kept on their rants whatever had been going on in the name of conduct of exams by PPSC. He had been on the forefront. Bilal has also been involved in offering his tuition/coaching services for preparation of the provincial and federal competitive exams conducted by PPSC and FPSC.
Since the scandal surfaced, he had been quite vocal about the alleged ongoing irregularities and corruption in conduct of exams of important posts on social and mainstream media. He in October had also organized a protest against PPSC and also ran a twitter trend against the organization.
