Cost of Questioning I have read the jang article by Jamil-uddin-Aali that you mentioned.

I was shocked to read his words and I quote:

``Itefaaq key mujhey uss sazish kay aik namwar agent ka naam bhee maloom ho gya hai jinhein un ka moahida mulazmat khatam honay kay baad un kee matloobah toseeh naheen mili hai``

Mr. Aali says that all students doing their PhD from a university in Pakistan will have a ``ghatya`` PhD. I was surprised how he could draw such inferences when no such thing was mentioned or even implied by Dr. Isa`s article. The purpose of Dr. Isa`s article was to question the degree awarded to vice-chancellor of Quaid-e-Azam university.

Dr. Atta-ur-Rehman is a sincere person. However, since he is heading an organization that is responsible for dispensing huge public funds, it is necessary for his organization to ensure that those funds do not go wasted, and that quality is duly maintained. HEC is making an effort in this regard, which should be duly supported. HEC`s efforts should also be complimented by creating a public awareness against those people who are trying to use these schemes to their advantage. Dr. Sohail`s email also points in this direction.
