Pakistan: Imran Khan's dream university has only 37 students
Islamabad: Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan's dream Al Qadir University, which was constructed and launched with the land donated by a real estate giant during his rule in 2019, has only 37 students in total.
Run by a trust, its original trustees were Imran Khan (the then prime minister), Bushra Khan (Imran’s spouse), Zulfiqar Abbas Bukhari (Zuldi Bukhari) and Zaheer ud din Babar Awan. Later, Zulfi Bukhari and Babar Awan were removed from the trust and replaced by Dr Arif Nazir Butt and Mrs Farhat Shehzadi, The News International reported.
It is pertinent to mention here that Farhat Shahzadi, also known as Farah Khan/ Farah Bibi is a close friend of Bushra Khan, the newspaper reported.
Al Qadir management claims to be a university, but has not yet been recognised by the Punjab Higher Education Department.
It has so far been allowed to teach only one subject Bs-MS (Management Sciences) and can enroll a maximum of 50 students with its affiliation with Government College University Punjab, the newspaper reported.
