APNS lauds SC action on Axact
KARACHI (PR) – The APNS has welcomed the suo moto action taken by the Supreme Court of Pakistan in the matter of corruption, extortion and fake degree scam conducted by AXACT and hoped that the action by the apex court will be conclusive and will help in weeding out the black sheep and criminals from the media industry in particular and the Pakistani society in general.
APNS President Sarmad Ali in a statement on Thursday noted that the shameful and nefarious activities has not only lowered the repute of the country but has also affected the credibility of Pakistani academia all over the world.

The APNS is confident that the action by the Supreme Court would result in nipping the criminals in the bud, he said.
