Degrees of 272 government officials declared fake by Punjab University
The degrees were sent to Punjab University by various federal and provincial government departments for verification.
Sources say that the university received 25,732 degrees between 2010 and 2011.
The university authorities have started compiling the data, and details of the degrees will soon be sent to the concerned departments.
The Supreme Court had also asked the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP), last July, to verify the degrees of all lawmakers and had directed that cases of fake degree holders should be decided by district and sessions judges within three months.
The ECP had declared degrees of 60 legislators fake but no FIR has been registered against any legislator.

The Supreme Court had also asked the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to verify the degrees of all lawmakers.. Now, it is to be verified whether the members of election commission are having genuine qualifications. The law makers who hold fake degrees should be debarred for life from contesting any elections or holding any office where govt funds are invested.
University degrees? I bet they even passed secondary school with E grade
It seems like the system is corrupt to the core, for pretending to represent the electorate, while robbing the Nation blind by deceit of fake education qualifications !!!! Shame on them, time the electorate demand more transparency and results than hollow promises !!! Surely out of !80 million people, there must be few thousand who would qualify and willing to do public service, rather than self service.
