Bengaluru:<\/strong> Rights activist and president of The Helping Citizen<\/em>, Alam Pasha, has launched a scathing attack on the Shaheen Group of Institutions, accusing the management of financial irregularities, questionable foreign funding, and systemic misuse of power. Declaring that his fight is legal and not personal, Pasha has demanded a thorough government investigation, independent audits, and full financial disclosure of the group\u2019s activities over the past decade.<\/p>\n In a strongly worded statement, Pasha clarified that his campaign is not driven by a personal vendetta against the Shaheen Group\u2019s leadership but by a commitment to transparency and justice.<\/p>\n \u201cI will not beg for maafi (apology). My fight is legal, and it is against the system that allows such misuse of funds and power,\u201d Pasha asserted.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n He alleged that several of the group\u2019s schools in Bengaluru operate under dubious certifications, with inflated student numbers being reported. \u201cHow is it that institutions like DPS and NPS report transparent figures, while Shaheen presents exaggerated data without proper oversight?\u201d he questioned.<\/p>\n Pasha raised serious concerns about the large sums of foreign donations reportedly flowing into the Shaheen Group from Dubai, Saudi Arabia, and other sources. These funds, he said, were collected in the name of education, minority welfare, and social development.<\/p>\n \u201cIf these funds were truly meant for education, why has there been no audit for the last ten years? Where has this money gone?\u201d Pasha asked.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n He accused the group of failing to produce public accountability reports, calling for a government-mandated independent audit<\/strong> of both domestic and foreign contributions. The lack of scrutiny, he said, raises the possibility of money being diverted for purposes unrelated to education.<\/p>\n Pasha was equally critical of the authorities, alleging negligence on the part of the Karnataka government, the Enforcement Directorate, and senior bureaucrats. He questioned why the funds in question had not been seized despite allegations of irregularities.<\/p>\n \u201cWhy has the government not acted? Why is the Principal Secretary silent? Why has the Enforcement Directorate failed to investigate? This negligence shows how deep the rot runs within the system,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n He further alleged that influential individuals within the community were being shielded from accountability due to their political or financial clout.<\/p>\n Calling for public support, Pasha urged citizens, media, and civil society to stand against what he described as the blatant misuse of donations collected in the name of education.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is not just my fight\u2014it is a fight for integrity in education. Institutions that claim to serve society must first be accountable to the people,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Pasha pledged to pursue legal remedies until the truth comes out, reiterating that he would not back down. \u201cI have chosen the courts as my battlefield. Until there is transparency, I will not rest,\u201d he declared.<\/p>\n Beyond the Shaheen Group, Pasha emphasized that the controversy reflects a larger systemic failure<\/strong>. He accused the education department of overlooking discrepancies in school registrations and certifications, and he condemned the practice of elevating unqualified individuals while ignoring genuine voices of reform.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is not about one institution. It is about the system that enables corruption and betrays the trust of poor families who sacrifice everything for their children\u2019s education,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Pasha highlighted the plight of affected communities, pointing to families whose children have been denied proper schooling despite vast donations being collected. He urged the government to take swift and decisive measures to restore public confidence.<\/p>\n Alam Pasha\u2019s statement comes as a rebuttal to allegations made against him by Dr. Abdul Qadeer, associated with the Shaheen Group of Institutions.<\/p>\n On his fight:<\/strong> On transparency:<\/strong> On government accountability:<\/strong> On public trust:<\/strong> On systemic reform:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\u201cMy fight is against the system, not an individual\u201d<\/h3>\n
