    an other Pakistani Star!

    I hope he becomes the headline for Pakistani Government and Pakistani Media. This will definatly help in projecting Pakistan's real image.

    i think CM Punjab is going to get tired of Dr.Saif and appoint this young man to be Chairman of PITB and Secretary IT. Way to go CM Sahib!

    This guy is very likely a faker. Be very skeptical of the prodigies that are appearing these days. His (alleged) transcript has a wrong date (04/78/2012). I dont think Microsoft will make such mistake, and if they do, the person will immediately get it fixed.

    Guinness World Records search does not return any record for his name. MCP can be verified from https://mcp.microsoft.com/authenticate/validatemc… . Someone needs to challenge this guy for his ID and Code.

    I believe this dude just wants to compete with the other faker from Okara (http://www.itnama.com/2012/05/ammar-afzal-from-okara-it-genius-or-fraud/)

    Microsoft in Pakistan is playing a major role in increasing the technology savvy people with the opportunities they are creating!
