ABBOTTABAD: A spokesman for COMSATS Institute of Information Technology (CIIT) has said that institute’s rector is being maligned through a social media campaign about unverified plagiarism charges.
Prof Dr Raheel Qamar, (Tamgha-i-Imtiaz), heads the institute as rector, and is professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.
In a press release, the CIIT spokesman said as a matter of concern, CIIT condemns the social media criticism of its rector as fake news, and consequently the Institute resolves to take legal action against all such perpetrators behind this activity through concerned law-enforcement agencies and courts.
It said the Higher Education Commission’s (HEC) plagiarism policy describes plagiarism as “taking and using the thoughts, writings, and inventions of another person as one's own”.
It added that an analysis of Prof Qamar’s articles that were allegedly contained plagiarism reveals that the allegations of plagiarism were false and untrue and therefore an official complaint has been launched with FIA’s cybercrime wing with a request to initiate an investigation against those maligning the reputation of Prof Dr Raheel Qamar.
