Khyber Medical University has shown a strong commitment to uphold academic integrity and has the necessary infrastructure and expertise to conduct this exam efficiently. We believe that this change will help restore public confidence in the examination process.
Interviewer: There have been allegations surrounding the MD CAT test, particularly related to a significant financial scam. Can you clarify the situation and the measures being taken to address these issues?
Mr. Khan: Absolutely. The MD CAT scam, which involves a staggering amount of approximately 2 to 2.5 billion rupees, is a serious concern. The cabinet has formed a committee, chaired by Chief Minister Khan, to thoroughly investigate the matter. We are committed to bringing the culprits to justice, including the two main individuals involved and even possibly holding parents accountable for their roles. This investigation is a priority, and we are taking all necessary steps to ensure that such misconduct does not occur in the future.
Interviewer: Moving beyond the MD CAT test, the caretaker government has discussed various security measures and actions against extortion and smugglers. Can you summarize the government’s approach?
Mr. Khan: Our government is taking a multi-faceted approach to enhance law and order in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. We recently held an extensive meeting with law enforcement and military officials to address urgent issues, including smuggling and terrorism. We’ve made significant strides—over 145 cases have been registered, and numerous arrests have been made in connection with extortion activities. We’ve also closed down around 450 sites that were spreading hateful content. The government remains committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of its citizens.
Interviewer: Lastly, there has been talk about the upcoming elections and the return of Afghan refugees. What is the government’s stance on these matters?
Mr. Khan: Regarding the elections, the Election Commission of Pakistan is responsible for announcing the date, and we are ready to facilitate that process. As for Afghan refugees, we believe that, as conditions improve, those who do not have a legal status should return to Afghanistan. We will not allow illegal residents to stay, as it is crucial for the stability and security of our province.
