Coronavirus has yet again stricken Pakistan and is causing chaos among students who were all set to give their CAIE’s this year. Since the cases have risen significantly, the students are demanding the authorities to cancel their exams. However, the authorities are standing tall with their decision and are scheduling exams as decided earlier.
In the midst of this unprecedented time, celebrities such as Asim Azhar and Haqida Kiani are favoring the students. They are appealing to Shafqat Mehmood to cancel the exams since we are in the middle of the pandemic.
Asim took it to the micro-blogging site, he said:
Students have really been disturbed due to the ongoing pandemic causing the institutes to close/open again & again. I personally know some students that haven’t been able to complete their syllabuses as well. Please kuch karain aur bacho ka saath dain. @Shafqat_Mahmood

Please think of our children. We must find an alternative plan that doesn’t put them in danger. Note, I’m an advocate for education, I’ve received my MSc in Psych & I pray my son goes on & achieves a Ph.D. but this is just not the way. #ExamsCancelHoga @Shafqat_Mahmood #CIES
