MT Desk: The news published in The Muslim Times on December 29, 2020 under the headline `Corrupt Professor Mohammad Ali, in the race to become the VC of PUST` is the epitome of our editorial policy and ethics. Our own investigation has proved that the published news is completely false, baseless and motivated by purpose. The negligence of the varsity correspondent of The Muslim Times in this regard is also noticeable. The authorities will take appropriate action against the Correspondent by publishing the above news without proper evidence and investigation. However, The Muslim Times sincerely apologizes for the defamation and damage caused to the persons concerned, including Professor Mohammad Ali, as a result of the above news release.

The Muslim Times authorities will be more careful and responsible to publishing such types of news in the future.
