Axact (PAKISTAN) - Between the news

Any news related to Axact is a hot piece of cake now a days in Pakistan and media is taking it like a kind of national threat though FIA has confessed that it knew the matter long ago but could not act due to absence of any complain.

Before I go into the depth, i would like to throw certain questions that needs to be taken into the consideration.

1. Why FIA didn’t take action if they knew the scam long ago.
2. How this claim from FIA contradicts with the statement of our ex-president Mr. Asif Zardari who said in a GEO Television Program,
   Capital Talk with Hamid Mir, that his government didn’t know anything about the scam.
3. FIA Chairman's ridiculous statement which appeared right after as a reaction to New York Time's Article that the people who got fake degrees from Axact should contact to FIA and register the complaint.
4. Why this scam is given so much importance as our history is evident of much larger scams who didn’t get attention.
5. Some news suggests that Declan Walsh was deported from Pakistan from ISI
6. Can Axact (A Pakistani based company) run this much huge education diploma mill business alone?
7. Why Axact would make itself so vulnerable to investigation when they are about to launch a media house BOL?
8. Why local media is taking hype on this news
9. May be this is a severe move when the Pakistan Government is about to go with the Cyber Laws Regulations?
10. Would this inquiry be completed or settled down?

I was listening to the online video petition from the CEO/Chairman of Axact, Mr. Shoaib Sheikh the other day, in which he asked Prime
Minister of Pakistan Mian Nawaz Sharif, Chief of Staff Gen. Raheel Shareef and Sr. Judiciary to bring Axact free and fair justice. All the things were ordinary in the speech but one point was clicking for me. Mr. Shoaib said, they have a software product related Online Education System which can be used for the backend services of any educational system, either universities or school. Means, according to him, if some other person is using the product for their illicit activities/fake degrees then this should not be put on the Axact.

Investigation is going on by FIA and I hope that this will lead to a free and fair conclusion and actions.
