Islamabad:
Some 67 members of parliament and provincial assemblies in
Pakistan hold fake educational degrees, a media report said
Thursday.
The Higher Education Commission (HEC) is yet to receive the
matriculate and intermediate certificates from 428 members of
parliament and assemblies to enable it verify their degrees.
It has now asked the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to
obtain the certificates so it can verify them, the News
International reported.
In a letter to ECP, the HEC said it will examine the degrees. The
letter was delivered to ECP a day before the departure of HEC
chairman Farooq Leghari to London Thursday.
Sources said 13 members have already been de-seated on account of
their fake educational degrees and by-elections have been held in
the constituencies. They are among the 67 members who hold fake
degrees.
