Govt should immediately allow religious seminaries resume their educational activities across country: Siraj.

LAHORE -- Ameer Jammat-e-Islami Pakistan Senator Sirajul Haq has said the government should immediately allow the religious seminaries resume their educational activities across the country.

Talking to the representatives of Madaris on Sunday, he said that around four months were passed to the closure of deni madaris which led the irreparable loss to the education of 3.5million students of seminaries.

Teachers were hand to mouth and parents of the students were worried about their children's education, he said, asking the government to devise a plan with the consultation of Ittehad-e-Tanzeemat-e-Madaris and announce date for the opening of seminaries. He said the government should shun the practice of pressurizing the Madaris. He said the rulers were following the western agenda and trying to damage the Islamic identity of the country. He said the plan, however, will not succeed. He said the JI and Ittehad-e-Tanzemaat-e-Madaris will launch a movement if the seminaries were not allowed to resume their educational activities.
