ISLAMABAD: Sardar Malik Aamir Yar Waran belonging to the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP), who resigned as an MNA on Thursday, a day before the Supreme Court disqualified him for holding a fake university degree, had written a letter in English to the University of Balochistan during its probe into his certificate.
When he wrote the letter on June 25, 2008, he was parliamentary secretary of the Ministry of Culture, Sports, Tourism and Youth Affairs in the Shaukat Aziz government. It was addressed to Deputy Controller of Examinations (Conduct) Khan Tama Khan.
Although he claimed to have graduated from the University of Balochistan, the language of the letter, a copy of which is available with The News, shows how seriously his claim to be a graduate should be taken.
It is being reproduced without any editing: “Subject: Apearance before UFM [unfair means] committee. It is stated to that your kind letter No.1031-33/Exams:/Condt: I inform you sir today your letter receive me. Dated 25-06-2008. Assembly session close on dated 24-06-2008. I was present on dated 31 may 2008. but those day strike in Queetta. And next two days holidays. I request you Sir you are inform me 15 days ago I attend the UFM Committee. With best Regard.”
Waran wrote this letter only after the University of Balochistan sent three similar letters on the same day at his addresses of the Parliamentary Lodges, Islamabad; Bahawalpur; and Quetta. He was directed to appear in person before the UFM committee on May 31, 2008, along with the computerised identity card in connection with the inquiry into his degree.
Another obtrusive mistake found in the papers submitted to the Supreme Court was that Waran’s date of birth in his national identity card was December 17, 1966, while it was February 5, 1973, in the registration form of the University of Balochistan filled up by him, and in his intermediate certificate.
After his election to the National Assembly in 2002, Waran’s degree had been challenged but no court handed down any decision like so many other similar cases. He had become a member of the Patriots, comprising PPP turncoats.
As the story emerges from the documents filed with the Supreme Court, Waran got a (fake) graduation degree of Shah Latif University. He had passed that examination in the “Second Decion” (as written in his degree), not second division. His case relating to the bogus degree remained stuck up in a court of law for five years till the last day of the previous National Assembly.
In 2004, an individual impersonated as Waran in the graduation examination of the Islamia University Bahawalpur. He was caught and Waran was declared ineligible for three years and fined Rs2,000.
In its final lengthy probe report, the University of Balochistan wrote, “Keeping in view the past background of the candidate & available records provided by the complainant, that Mr. Aamir Yar S/O Ahmed Yar Malik is a professional habitual of using unfair means to achieve his objectives/goals with the involvement of the personnel of the institutions.”
Meanwhile, the Supreme Court (SC) directed the Election Commission of Pakistan (EC) to take action against Pakistan People’s Party MNA Amir Yar Waran under Section 78 of People’s Representation Act 1976 for possessing a fake degree.
A three-member bench of the apex court, comprising Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, Justice Nasirul Mulk and Justice Tariq Parvez, was hearing an election petition of an MNA from Bahawalpur.
Counsel for Amir Yar Waran, a PPP MNA from NA-184, Bahawalpur-II, informed the bench that his client resigned on Thursday and his resignation has been accepted. But the chief justice asked him to provide the copy of Aamir’s resignation. The counsel said he will provide it later on.
The Registrar of Balochistan University, Mohammad Iqbal Qasim, submitted a report on Amir’s fake degree, saying the MNA got registered with the varsity in 2004, but appeared in supplementary examination in 2005 as external candidate, and he did not submit migration certificate and attested photographs.
Justice Tariq Parvez said thus university officials seemed to be themselves involved as the PPP MNA did not submit the migration certificate, which was necessary in case of changing the boards, besides that he was allowed to take the examination and his result was announced.
Aftab Ahmed Bajwa, counsel for petitioner Mian Najeebud Din, told the court that Amir had acquired B-Com degree from Shah Abdul Latif University, Khairpur, in 1997. But the university, on the request of one Muhammad Rafique Qamar, had declared the degree possessed by Amir Yar was fake. He further told the MNA later appeared in the examinations of BA from the Islamia University, Bahawalpur, and was found guilty of being involved in impersonation.
A disciplinary committee of the university had disqualified him for a period of three years and cancelled his examinations of BA. The counsel informed the respondent, despite a ban of three years imposed on him, got himself registered with the Balochistan University and appeared in the examinations of BA in 2005 but could not pass the examinations.
The Balochistan University also initiated proceedings against the respondent and found him guilty of concealing the facts and keeping a fake degree, he said and added a case in the criminal court in Chistian is pending against Amir Yar Waran.
The Registrar of Balochistan University (BU) told the court that the academic council of the varsity has already declared its degree bogus, but as the MNA has filed an appeal before the higher authority of the BU, therefore, the syndicate would decide about the appeal next week.
