| The Pakistan government should check alleged illegal activities in 'a handful madrassas', United States Consulate Principal Officer Brian Hunt said on Thursday. He also asked religious scholars to impart teachings of peace and tolerance to their students, Dawn News reported. During his visit to the Jamia Maqsoodia in Lahore, Hunt said that most of the madrassas were contributing to the society by educating the poor but a handful of people were misusing the institution. The US diplomat said it was important to recognise the services of these charitable madrassas. |
