Sir,
It was good to hear that Punjab University finally took action against the plagiarists, but merely sending them into early retirement was not enough. Some kind of financial penalty together with appropriate measures to ensure that the guilty ones do not get employed in other colleges or universities would have been more suitable. There is nothing now which can prevent these felons taking up teaching and influencing young minds again. Were they let off lightly because of their links to a religious party which has made the university a hostage for many years now?
