Education
Dar has a Bachelor of Commerce degree from the University of the Punjab.[1]
Dar, in his nomination papers for 2013 general election, declared to have received the degree of Master of Business Administration from the Schiller International University, London in 1997.[2][3]
In November 2017, Schiller International University was found to be a degree mill and Dar's MBA degree was found to be dubious after the Department for Education of the United Kingdom said that it does not recognize the university.[2][3]
Dar did not declare his MBA degree in his nomination papers for 2018 general election and only mentioned his graduation degree from the University of the Punjab.[3]
Political career
He ran for the seat of the Provincial Assembly of the Punjab as an independent candidate from Constituency PP-122 (Sialkot-II) in Pakistani general election, 2008 but was unsuccessful.[4] He received 166 votes and lost the seat to Chaudhry Muhammad Akhlaq.[5]
He ran for the seat of the National Assembly of Pakistan as a candidate of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) from Constituency NA-110 (Sialkot-I) in Pakistani general election, 2013 but was unsuccessful.[6] He received 71,573 votes and lost the seat to Khawaja Muhammad Asif.[7]
He ran for the seat of the National Assembly as a candidate of PTI from Constituency NA-73 (Sialkot-II) in Pakistani general election, 2018 but was unsuccessful.[8] He received 115,464 votes and lost the seat to Khawaja Muhammad Asif.[9]
On 10 October 2018, Prime Minister Imran Khan appointed Dar as Chairman of the Prime Minister’s Youth Programme.[10] On 12 October, a resolution was submitted in the Provincial Assembly of the Punjab against the appointment of Dar due to his dubious degree.[11] The resolution also noted that appointment was "clear violation of merit and unacceptable as he had suffered a massive defeat in the general elections".[12]
