National Assembly Speaker Asad Qaiser Sunday said new syllabus was not being introduced in madaris.
“We imposed that the Holy Quran be taught with translation and included the fundamental article of faith on finality of Prophethood in the syllabus in schools across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and will do the same in Punjab,” the speaker told media in Panjpir area of Swabi.
“Incorrect reports are being circulated regarding the syllabus of madaris. We are neither introducing a new syllabus nor are we drafting any policy,” he clarified. “Till the time Prime Minister Imran Khan and I are here, no such thing can happen. Madaris are Islam’s forts which preach peace, and are among our top priorities,” the NA speaker added.
