However, the minister received a backlash for distancing himself from the issues of MDCAT students. One of the twitter users said that the minister took immediate action this year when O and A Level students faced the similar issue on erroneous grading by Cambridge, but is now quiet and not ready to help.
The lawyer and human rights activist Jibran Nasir also took to Twitter and replied to the minister stating that “we would encourage you to reach out to Health Ministry over the mess that PMC has created”.
He said that special assistance to Prime Minister Imran Khan is in the same cabinet as the education minister as opposed to distancing himself from the issue.
