Fazl: No madrassas will be registered with govt
2005-08-22
ISLAMABAD: The Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) has refused to register its seminaries with the government under the Madaris Registration Ordinance 2005, Online reported on Monday. JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman told reporters that his party would not register its 8,500 seminaries across Pakistan. “We reject the Madaris Registration Ordinance which President General Pervez Musharraf has promulgated by amending the Society Act. If we approve such amendments and the parliament also approves them we will be forced to introduce the government-dictated syllabus and employ government-recommended teachers in the madrassas. This is not possible for us,” he said. “We will not accept any restrictions on madrassas.”
