Zunaib M Yousuf | 14 years ago | Reply So the war is on !!! Every political party is on battle to score higher numbers... let's see who leads I doubt there would be any members of MQM declared to hold fake degree, but yups Muslim League(s) from A-Z and PPP would have a critical competition to advance in the contest !!! Why not this time get some action against the issuing authority as well... The highest number of fake degrees are issued by University of Baluchistan ... Why not drag the controller of UoB to the court and ask for the justification and the black sheeps in the herd ??? Wowww !!! It's good that we Pakistanis always find the solution to any arduous intricacy of the world and crack the solution of any technology and for forfeit it as well !!! But come on it's education ... you are cheating with own people !! What world do you live in and what were you thinking Mr. CM Baluchistan before asserting "Degree is degree regardless of genuine or fake" Woohoooo !!!
