Minister for Interior Affairs Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan on Friday took notice of reports about permission to medical colleges established without required educational qualifications and facilities.
According to the Interior Ministry, he ordered Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) to investigate into the matter. He said that it should be investigated that on basis of which reasons medical colleges which even did not come up to even required standards, were granted permission and allowed to play with the lives of patients and future of students.
Nisar said that it should be determined whether it was negligence of any institution concerned or a crime was committed intentionally. Whether it is the issue of illegal sale, purchase and transplant of human organs or playing with the future of medical students, in both matters, the involved elements not only committed professional dishonesty but were also culprits before humanity, he said.
A strict accountability was necessary, he said. The interior minister directed the FIA to present an initial report in 15 days after probing both the matters. He ordered the FIA to initiate formal investigation against persons, facilitators and centres involved in sale, purchase and transplant of human organs.
On the occasion, the Pakistan Cricket Board and the FIA have presented an initial report to the interior minister on the matter of spot fixing, according to a statement issued here by the ministry.
