Khawaja Asif Criticizes Al-Qadir Trust Amid £190m Scandal

Khawaja Asif Criticizes Al-Qadir Trust Amid £190m Scandal

“Sawal Yeh Hai”, Khawaja Muhammad Asif said that the money received from the UK’s National Crime Agency belonged to Pakistani people.

He said that Al-Qadir is not a university but more like a low-level institute or computer college, as it never applied to HEC for the charter of a university, therefore it is wrong to call it a university.

The Defence Minister revealed that Al-Qadir is an affiliated college of the Government College University Lahore.

He questioned that Al-Qadir has a huge 400-acre land, but it only has about 200 students enrolled in four years, and it only teaches two subjects, including spirituality.

Meanwhile, addressing a press conference in Sialkot, Khawaja Asif said how a university can have so few students and still call itself a university. “Do universities have the same number of students in so many years,” he added.

He asked the media to visit Al-Qadir University and investigate further how many classes are held there, how many degrees are awarded, what kind of education is provided there, and how many people have graduated from there in four years.
