The Principal refused to comply with the Board of Governor's direction and did not finalise policy. Behind the scene, principal the approached us and offered individual relief if she doesn't press the policy matter
the principal struck off the name of one child and gave notice for the other on account of non-payment of dues
I again applied to the Governor for implementation of the board's decision. The governor restrained the principal from taking any adverse action," Cheema said, adding, "The Principal defied the Governor's order and terminated the admission of the second child as well
Governor sought the data of the case under the law, but the principal openly refused, Cheema claimed. "When he saw that this would lead to action against him, he provided the record after about two and a half months
He claimed that Principal Thomson had offered him an individual relief through some respectable people, but his his family refused to take any “under-the-table deal
The Principal’s brazen and high-headed refusal of Board’s and Chairman’s policy decisions is unheard of
after Cheema was asked to work with the first Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) government (an order from the governor's office stated that the matter was initiated in June 2022), then with the caretaker government, before being retained as a federal minister in the newly formed coalition government
On March 21, Punjab Governor Balighur Rehman, in his capacity as President of Board of Governors (BoG) Aitchison College, had ordered to waive the fees of sons of Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Establishment Ahad Cheema on a representation, filed by Ms Saima Ahad Cheema.

Speaking in Geo News programme Aaj Shahzeb Khanzada Kay Saath, Ahad Cheema said the governor had made a broader policy and nothing was wrong with it, adding that it is merely an impression that he (Ahad) is the reason behind the governor’s decision.
Cheema said the principal had indirectly approached him twice to get the issue sorted at the children’s level and not to make it a policy matter.
He said he refused special treatment both times because he had a principled stand that the board should take a policy decision in this regard. He said he could name the people who had approached him on the principal’s behalf.
The federal minister stated that “the issue of fee waiver is being "presented in a different light
Cheema claimed that his family, including his wife and two children, are shifting to Islamabad and hence had requested the fee to be waived. Cheema claimed his sons were still issued the fee challans
The minister maintained that no one should pay fees after leaving the school
Inn a rebuttal to the principal's accusations, Cheema stated that he had been transferred to Islamabad in June 2022 and applied for a break for his two children from Aitchison College for the duration of his deputation
He argued that being a civil servant dependent on his salary, it was not possible to simultaneously pay the tuition fees for his children at two educational institutions, and hence, they should be waived at the institution where his children will not be spending their time for the stated period
I applied to the principal and then the governor to make a policy decision regarding students asking for long leave, as payment of fees at two schools was burdensome
The Governor referred the matter to the Board of governors, who approved the policy of long leave without fee and asked management to finalise modalities
Cheema said he filed another application with the Governor, citing the principal's complete disobedience of the Board's and the Governor's instructions
Cheema said that when the management committee and the Board couldn't finalise the matter in two years, the Governor decided to provide interim relief and create a policy of waiving fees for all students for the duration of their long leave
The federal minister, however, urged the governor to continue with the fee waiver policy for other students as it would benefit many parents and children
The new policy that waives off the fee when a student is not studying at the College is just, fair, equitable and against the traditional elitist mindset and therefore, is highly appreciated amongst the general parent body,” Cheema stated in his letter to the governor
Ahad Cheema also said that his family had suffered mockery, slur and a vilification campaign in this episode just because of his being in public office
