An issue and example of vandalism by a corrupt gang within the Education Department of Gilgit Baltistan, under patronage of the Provincial PPP Government and it's Leader of the House - Sayyed Mehdi Shah.
According to available data, more than 150 persons have been appointed as male and female teachers in the department without any advertisement, test/interview and DPC/DRC from backdates after getting 1.5 to 2 lacs as bribe from ineligible and non competent persons, in the education department. Moreover, hundreds of illegal promotions have been granted without observing seniority rules depriving hundreds of other teachers waiting for their due promotions.
All these illegal appointments and promotions are being carried out by a renowned corrupt retired superintendent namely Kacho Fayyaz Muhammad Khan, under the umbrella of Raja Muhammad Nasir, Director Education, Baltistan Region. It is strange and worth to mention that the office superintendent mentioned above was retired from his service after attaining 60 years of age in 2006. He got an illegal extension for one year during the Musharraf Govt for the first time in the history of Pakistan- as none of the clerical cadre service was extended/re-appointed in the history of our country. This person got another two year extension for second time- just for nothing except fetching money for himself and his higher authorities. During this tenure, he appointed many many ineligible persons like barbers, plumbers etc as teacher in exchange of heavy bribe. This year he got his third time extension as superintendent by approval of the PPP CM of Gilgit Baltistan. The opposition leader in the GB Legislative Assembly, Mr Basheer Ahmad Khan raised strong objection on the floor of house on 02-11-2010 against the CM order to extend third time extension in the services of the said retired Superintendent Kacho Fayyaz M. Khan of the education department. The opposition leader put a challenge in the house that he would tender his resignation from the GBLA membership if he fails to prove the huge corruption of the said corrupt superintendent.( Super lead news item of Daily Baade Shimal on Nov.3rd 2010)
A local college academic person, namely Muhammad Hassan Shad, (Asstt. Professor of the Department of Mass Communication) who allegedly was highlighting the issue of mass level corruption in education department had been receiving life threats from the said gang was attacked by some 5-6 persons in the broad daylight on 15-11-2010 at 2pm. This incident took place in the busy main bazaar of Skardu. The said professor sustained injuries and hospitalized for many days. The said corruption gang was so strong that they reportedly threatened surrounding shopkeepers not to become eye witness of the attack. The injured professor launched FIR nominating Kacho Fayyaz M Khan and Raja Muhammad Nasir, Director Education as the main instigator beside other five unknown attackers but after lapse of considerable time none of the accused were arrested as they have backing and support of the local PPP leaders. It is said that all the five attacking culprits have close relations with Kacho Fayyaz. The academia of more than 10 colleges of Gilgit Baltistan and thousands of students strongly protested against the culprits involved in the shameful incident. An English weekly of the region- Northern Times wrote an editorial in this context in its issue #16 vol #2 which is given below: “Violence on Nation Builder”
“Last week a regretful incident happened in main bazaar Skardu in which some criminals manhandled allegedly a Professor of Degree College Skardu owing to his ingenuous expositions about fake appointments and corruptions in education department skardu.The beaten professor has launched FIR against some officers and a contract
official of the education department but till filing of this story police has not taken any action against the said officers while on this issue in Skardu and Gilgit cities , GB college lecturers and students have protested and demanded for immediate action against those who involved in this gloomy incident. it is above to understand
that in our society tolerance and patients have ended. If some one pointed out social evils and corruption in government departments, people should appreciate this act and condemned these social evils, if show sympathy with the sinners then how we can remove social evils from society. If our liable authorities took no action against the culprits of the said incident, then people will compel to protest for justice. It is a gigantic incident that a nation builder beat in open market by the criminals due to expositions of someone’s malpractice. Unfortunately our police as usual are being shown its traditional behavior and yet did not take action against the culprits while some of our prominent personalities are trying to make a truce between the sinner and the innocent. If the exposition of corruption in government departments are crime then these kinds of crime will expose again and again, either the higher authorities took action or close their eyes against the responsible criminals and here we would like to say that, “Chali he rusm ki koi na sar utha ke chale”
The corruption gang has developed so strong that no one dares to open their mouth against their illegal action. They are trying to show the incident as a revenge of some students against whom the professor had allegedly registered unfair mean cases during SSC examinations some years ago, a lame excuse to justify the incident which the professor totally denies. The ongoing mass corruption is in its full swing and none is here to check the evil which eventually will damage future of our coming generations.
Dear sir, so, the helpless people of Baltistan Region, request you to, expose, highlight and condemn the deep-rooted corruption continued in the education department in Baltistan as well the heinous crime committed against a professor, through your effective articles and columns. If the highest authorities of the country take any action to
curb the corruption of the education department, this will be an everlasting act of kindness to the trampled and unheard people of Baltistan Region of Gilgit Baltistan
Truly yours,
