He also added that the government would terminate the fake degree holders from service to avoid untoward incidents like Karachi PIA plane crash.
Aviation Minister Ghulam Sarwar Khan stated in the National assembly of Pakistan, last month that 262 pilots, out of 860, “did not take the exam themselves”.
The PIA plane crashed on May 22, 2020 after taking off from Lahore, killing all but two of the passengers and crew on board.
