QUETTA, Sept 23: Former MPA and tribal elder Sardar Asmatullah Musakhel and Musakhel students leader Sadaullah Khan have urged the government to terminate the services of those government employees who have been appointed in different departments on bogus local certificates.

Speaking at a press conference at the press club here on Thursday, they said that the district administration of Musakhel district had cancelled 100 illegal local certificates issued through false official stamps and fake official signatures.

They maintained that those bogus local certificates were identified during verification by the district administration, and claimed that an organized gang in Dera Ghazi Khan and Taunsa Sharif in Punjab was providing the fake certificates.

They said that it was great injustice to the natives that a gang in two districts of Punjab deprived the deserved candidates of services, and stressed that the government should investigate the matter in all other districts of the province to find out the irregularities.
