The federal capital's Shehzad Town police station has received a request to register a case against a lecturer at COMSATS University Islamabad (CUI) for an objectionable quiz.
Muhammad Altaf, the complainant, stated in his application that the lecturer asked an inappropriate question on the English exam that goes against Islamic teachings and social values.
The complainant, according to the application, is the chairman of the lawyers' wing of the Pakistan ideological party and a resident of Islamabad's Chak Shahzad neighborhood.
He claimed that on Monday, while he was in his office, he saw a widely shared social media post about a sexist exam paper that offended him religiously.
The complainant went on to say that the varsity teacher should have a case filed against him and that he should be punished severely because he violated Islamic teachings by including immoral and offensive questions on the exam papers that students were given.
In a statement, the university said that the professor had been fired and put on the blacklist because he posted question that people found offensive, which sparked strong opposition from all parts of society.
The controversial quiz has also been noticed by the Ministry of Science and Technology, which has instructed the university administration to conduct an investigation and punish the "unscrupulous officials."
A letter from the ministry stated, "The content of the quiz is highly objectionable and totally against the curriculum laws of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and caused unrest among the families of the students."
For attempting to promote obscenity in society, politicians, journalists, celebrities, and others from all walks of life demanded severe action against the professor.
