have few questions
1. Why inviting a politician to education institutions is wrong?
2. Can any VC refuse the sitting government instructions?
3. The VCs appreciate every guest in the university in best possible manners, what so strange about it? https://t.co/Uvd45e6jqR
According to HEC, Asghar Zaidi was a member of the search committee of Quaid-e-Azam University, International Islamic University, and Allama Iqbal Open University. He has now been replaced by Dr Shoaib Mir in the search committee.
Federal Education Minister Rana Tanveer Hussain, strict action will be taken alongside the GCU vice-chancellor.
