The Ministry of Science and Technology has taken action against Comsats University Islamabad (CUI) for asking a highly controversial question in the exam, reported 24NewsHD TV channel on Monday.
According to details, students in the Bachelor of Electric Engineering BEE programme at CUI were asked the objectionable question about “forbidden love” in the English composition paper of the first semester exam.
Students were asked to write down a paragraph containing 300 words about the unnatural relationship between two siblings (Incest).
In response to the students' outrage over the immoral question, an inquiry was conducted on the orders of the Ministry of Science.
It was learnt that the visiting lecturer Khair-Ul-Bashar was responsible for adding such a question in the paper.
Likewise, the administration of the university put all the blame on the visiting lecturer for asking immoral content in the exam paper, while absolving the in-charge, controller of examinations, registrar and university rector from the blame.
The lecturer has also been terminated from the university and has been backlisted.
