Corrupt Practices: Raiding team exposes illegal exam centre
Karachi, Mar 27: A special vigilance team of the Board of Secondary Education Karachi (BSEK) caught
30 male and female candidates of class X who were sitting for an exam in an
illegal and unauthorised examination centre in Shah Faisal Colony. On a
tip off, the special vigilance team comprising District Officer (Education)
Ahmed Nawaz Niazi, Education Officer Abdul Lateef Mughal and a representative of
the board, raided Al-Umer Foundation School, which was being used as an
examination centre despite the fact that it is not an official exam centre of
the BSEK. The official centre designated by the BSEK for the candidates
belonging to the Al-Umer Foundation was the Agro Technical School. "The
superintendent and the lower staffers of the designated centre transported the
exam material including answer copies, questionnaires, and attendance sheets to
the Al-Umer Foundation School," said the inquiry report of the vigilance team. The report discloses that the parents of the 30
candidates, whose Science Group English Compulsory papers were being solved by
unauthorised people in collaboration with the school teachers, were also present
at the centre. The report stated that the superintendent and the staff
responsible for letting the students of the Al-Umer Foundation sit for their
papers in their own school will be suspended. The vigilance team also found an
answer copy with serial number 2509209 of BSEK that was left by a candidate who
fled the illegal centre when the raid was conducted. In its report, the team
recommended that the registration of Al-Umer Foundation should be cancelled
immediately. "The candidates should be re-examined for the last two papers," it
further said. When contacted, BSEK Spokesman Imran Tariq, who is also the
Assistant Controller of Examination, told this scribe that the board would take
strict actions against the elements involved in setting up the illegal exam
centre. "The future of the 30 students of Al-Umer Foundation, whether they
should be prohibited in sitting for the exams for the next three years or be
re-examined, would be decided after consulting the vigilance committee," he
added. 73 cases of cheating reported: On Thursday, the vigilance teams of
BSEK caught 73 students at different exam centres cheating and recovered
unauthorised material in their possession while sitting for their exams. Daily Times

Teenaged UTP taking Matric exams from Central Prison
Karachi: Sixteen-year-old Nabeel Mirza, an under-trial prisoner, is
appearing for matriculation examinations as a private candidate from Central
Prison Karachi. He is accused of murdering four members of a family, including
the mother and her three children, in December last year in Khawaja Ajmer
Nagri. Mirza is the only teenager from the Central Prison Karachi who is
sitting for the exams. On his request, the Prison has been made his examination
centre, and the board has also arranged for invigilation at the
prison. Mirza, along with his friend Zubair, had allegedly murdered the
woman and her three children in cold blooded act of revenge. Zubair's mother,
Shabana, was allegedly involved in an illicit relationship with a man named
Jameel, the husband of the deceased woman and father of her children. This
relationship enraged Zubair, and resulted in the murder of Jameel's wife and
three children. According to available details, on December 12, 2008, at
about 4.00pm, Zubair went to Jameel's house and asked his wife for the keys of
the upper portion of the house. When Seema Chachi (as the murderers referred to
the murdered woman) asked why he needed the key, he replied that he had
forgotten to take his trousers. Once he received the keys, Zubair went to
the upper portion of the house, and called Nabeel upstairs as well. In the
meantime, 8-year old Osama also came upstairs chasing Nabeel, and asked him to
play with him. Instead, Nabeel immediately tied Osama's hand and stabbed him.
Osama's elder sister, 9-year old Saima, also came into the room and upon seeing
her brother's dead body, started shouting and asked them what had happened. The
boys caught hold of Saima, and killed her. Having killed two children,
the duo locked the upper portion and came downstairs, where they the youngest
daughter, four-year-old Ramsha. They took her to another room and slaughtered
her as well. The boys then placed a knife on Seema Chachi's neck and told her
not to shout, before tying her hands and murdering her. The accused
Zubair further revealed that after committing these crimes, they stole a gold
chain, a cell phone, a small generator and a DVD player. They then locked
Jameel's house and went back to their respective houses. Zubair informed the
investigators that he had kept the gold chain and the cell phone at Nabeel's
house, while the generator and the DVD player were lying at the shop of a man
named Ali in Sector-5A1. The investigators conducted raids and recovered the
robbed property. The News

BIZTEK seminar calls for direct Senate election
Karachi: Justice (retd) Wajihuddin Ahmed has called for the election of
the Senate of Pakistan through direct vote, because "the current electoral
process had become a sham, in which seats are bought and sold, making it a
mockery of justice." Justice (retd) Ahmed expressed his views on Thursday
at a national seminar on "Constitutional Reforms: Back to 1973 Constitution or a
New Consensus" at the Institute of Business and Technology
(BIZTEK). Justice (retd) Ahmed, who has earned respect and admiration of
the nation by refusing to take oath under Provisional Constitutional Order (PCO)
in October 1999 and then taking the cause of social justice that included
contesting election against General (retd) Pervez Musharraf, was candid in
demanding seats for industrial and agricultural labour to gradually break the
hold of the feudal lords in the National Assembly. He suggested that the
power should be vested with the Senate and not with the assembly as that could
virtually monopolise the hegemony of a big province against the smaller ones,
creating a sense of deprivation that could harm the federation. "The President
should also be elected through popular votes to keep away the induction of the
Presidents who are embarrassment to the nation". He also reminded the audience
that autonomy to the provinces was essential for the progress of the country. He
criticised the forces who were trying to malign Islam and Muslims for earning
goodwill from the west. Justice (retd) Nasir Aslam Zahid agreed with the
premise of Justice (retd) Ahmed but wondered how this could be implemented in
Pakistan where feudal and industrial lords and bureaucrats have occupied the
assemblies for such a long time and the middle class finds it difficult to enter
it. "We need social engineers to guide the country to safer path. Politicians
are plunderers. They lack vision," he said, castigating mainstream
politicians. Director Pakistan Study Centre, University of Karachi (KU)
Dr Syed Jaffer Ahmed proposed that the 1973 Constitution should not be aborted
totally. "The discrepancies and amendments by the military dictators or civilian
governments should be removed from the Constitution and new amendments that are
advantageous to the people should be added. Veteran Journalist M.B. Naqvi
criticised the government for 'handing over' its economy to the IMF. "We have
agreed to their terms and conditions disregarding the disastrous results to our
country. Five million working age youth are ready to work every year. But there
are no jobs. The rulers need aid for their luxurious lifestyle. They do not care
about the people." Earlier Dean Management and Social Sciences BIZTEK Dr
Muhammad Ali Siddiqui, in his welcome address, reminded the audience that the
1956 Constitution was the beginning of the ever widening rift between East and
West Pakistan that culminated in the secession of the Eastern wing. "It is
rather surprising that the amendments in 1973 Constitution were initiated by
Zulfikar Ali Bhutto merely a couple of month after its adoption in April
1973".
PAF-KIET revisits groovy '70s
Karachi: The iconoclastic style and fashion of the 1970s was the flavour
of a nostalgic evening, and high platform shoes and psychedelic pants shimmered
amidst a potpourri of colours, as the student body of Pakistan Air Force-Karachi
Institute of Engineering and Technology (PAF-KIET) put together a memorable
event on the night of March 22, 2009. 'Retro Hip-Hop 70s' was the theme
of the event that was hosted for the commemoration of Pakistan Day, celebrated
on March 23. Groovy afros and ascots were in vogue yet again, atleast for the
evening, as students thronged to the institute to rekindle the spirit of the
70s. Looka-likes ranged from those of Sharmila Tagore to Dev Anand, as well as
those of Marilyn Monroe and Elvis Presley, while one was very likely to bump
into those sensual and groovy cats of the 70s. The event was divided into
three segments. Various troupes of students demonstrated their acting talents as
they performed skits, tableaus and dance performances. The settings and backdrop
of these performances were reminiscent of the 70s in its style and
splendor. The second segment saw the immensely popular Karavan band give
an electrifying performance much appreciated by those present at the PAF-KIET's
City Campus. The third segment commenced at the stroke of midnight, as
the Pakistan flag was unfurled along with the recitation of the National Anthem,
and a special performance by the students in honour of the
occasion. Furthermore, a food court was also set-up offering a variety of
cuisines ranging from the trendy to the traditional. A certificate
distribution ceremony was also held on the occasion. Midah Najmi was recognised
as Miss Campus for her brilliance in academics we well as the Miss Evening Award
for her impressive attire that was a manifestation of the 70s fashion. Aarish
Ali was given the Mr Campus Award while Mr Evening Award was bagged by Shahzeb
Khan. Air Marshal Azim Daud Pota, a celebrated hero of the 1965 war, was
also present at the occasion and appeared to enjoy the proceedings as much as
the students.
