DANGEROUS ALARM FOR PAKISTAN’S IMAGE

The credible newspaper The New York Time has published the news story “Fake Diploma- Real Cash” on Monday morning. The news story has covered by the Bureau Chief of NYT in Pakistan Declan Walsh. The story was the investigative report on the Pakistani base IT Company Axact.

In the report, Axact Company has been accused on the charge to provide the fake degrees of diplomas worldwide. The company earns millions of dollars by trapping an innocent people. The report claims that the sparkle websites of universities and campuses have smiling face of mentors and students are all fake. They are the actors. Even these universities just limited to the internet. In reality they don’t exist anymore.

They offered an online degree program for instance related to engineering and medical field. Whereas the certification on the degrees by the false signature of Sectary of United States Of America of John Kerry.

The detailed report has also been mentioned the confessed statement of some former employees and the trapped customers.Further, there have been many questions raised on the Axact Company. That if is this only the IT Company so how could millions of dollars earn in a month. From where its revenue being generated.

While, on the other side the finesse response from the CEO of Axact Company Shoib Ahmed Shaikh said that the all dramatic situation deliberately conducted for BOL Channel. He said there are many media groups don’t want to launch the BOL channel. As this Channel would be a great competitor in the market.

Further, he completely refused to accept any single part of report. He said that is all conspiracy for a BOL channel.

After the publishing of report the quick action has been taken from the FIA Pakistan on the order of Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan. The working employees have bullying and detained by FIA (Federal Investigation Agency) officers for interrogation from Karachi and Islamabad offices. As well the computers and files have also been seized.

Generally, people in Pakistan don’t know the mysterious name Axact and their work. It would be a crusade for Pakistan’s image. According to the NYT report the Axact Company provides fake degrees. But there are two another gigantic issues for this company. The one is they provides the IP address to pornography websites and the other is they are involved in Money transaction.

I question here, Why NYT didn’t cover these two issues? Have they don’t enough evidence or they are not more interested for these issues.

My second critic is on Declan Walsh. We should do not forget his past working for Pakistan. Every time he involves covering the hard news story in a negative perspective. He is a man who has been blacklisted in Pakistan. According to the report by intelligence agency of Pakistan, he did a yellow journalism and visiting the no go areas without having the NOC (Non objection certificate). Well I am not here to support the Axact Company. But the matter of the fact is the designer of a report has also a blacklisted. So how much his story is authentic. It should look forward the proper investigation neutrally.

Another critic in the link with channel BOL. Why NYT don’t want the launch of BOL channel. They published the front page news story to cover their more than half page just because to get stop the launching of BOL channel. Is that make any sense. What CEO claims in his response that is the all conspiracy for BOL.But if to delink with the BOL. It coul be harmful situation for Pakistan. There are dozens of websites to scram everyday on the behalf of fake degrees and diplomas. But why only Axact Company has noticed by NYT. The question has to think about. Does they want to create any link with Pakistan’s intelligence?

Moreover, the response of Government is appalling. Well just on the report on newspaper they started their investigation. Law should be equal for all. Why don’t take any action on the Mir Shakeel ur Rehman. Why Government don’t make any active commission to get back the money from swiss accounts?

Hence, if Axact Company and its employees are involved in any sort of scram so they should be charge under the Article 6 – High Treason of Constitution. The investigation should be free and fair neither to base on any published story. But if the story proven wrong by the time so they have to pay compensation of defamation to the company.

I tried to analyze the whole scandal in a neutral way. I don’t support any party. While the truth have to come publicly.
