Degrees of 16 pilots, 65 crew members found fake, SC told

ISLAMABAD: Minister for Information and Broadcasting Fawad Chaudhry on Wednesday termed the advocacy of the Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) pilots dismissed on fake degrees against Parliament’s dignity.

Reacting to a Senate committee’s criticism of dismissal of fake degree holder employees of the PIA including seven pilots, in a tweet, he said, “Such kind of attitude has caused downfall to nation during the last decade.”

Yesterday, a meeting of the parliamentary body of Senate, chaired by PML-N Senator Mushahidullah Khan criticised the manner in which the PIA management had dismissed seven pilots and 73 cabin crew for possessing fake degrees, saying rules were not followed for dismissal of services.

The minister and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Senator Mushahidullah have been exchanging words over appointments in the national flag carrier.

Fawad Chaudhry has been criticizing Mushahidullah for what he termed “recruiting whole family” in Pakistan International Airlines.

Earlier in the month of October, last year, Fawad said, “People like Mushahidullah appoint people on political basis in state-run organisations” which results in huge losses.

Infuriated, Mushahidullah too responded which turned the exchange into a shouting match which ended after Senate Chairman’s intervention.
