33 seminaries to be monitored for sectarian activity
2006-05-05
The Punjab government sent the authorities in 10 districts a list of 33 religious seminaries last week to monitor for involvement in sectarian activities, sources told Daily Times on Thursday.

Sources said that the seminaries suspected of involvement in sectarian activities were in Lahore, Faisalabad, Sheikhupura, Gujranwala, Khanewal, Sahiwal, Bahawalnagar, Jhelum, Rawalpindi and Attock. District police officers (DPOs) and DCOs of the district have been directed to warn the administration of these seminaries to refrain from sectarian activities, and act against them if they were found involved in such activities, sources said. Sources said that the seminaries, 10 of which are in Lahore and four in Khanewal, belonged to both the Sunni and Shia sects. The government directed DCOs and district police officers of the 10 districts to warn the administration of the seminaries on the list to abstain from any sectarian activity, sources said.
