Govt to demolish unregistered madrassas

[Jango]

The government has decided to demolish the madrassas which are not registered with the Wafaqul Madaris Al-Arabia Pakistan and Tanzeemul Madaris Pakistan, two umbrellas of seminaries in Pakistan. This was decided in a meeting presided by Interior Minister Rehman Malik on Monday.
“The madrassas which do not have any affiliation with the Wafaqul Madaris should register themselves by December 31, otherwise legal action will be taken against them,” said Malik. Attendees at the meeting included ulema belonging to different schools of thought. There are around 24,000 registered madrassas in the country.
“We all condemn the Sohrab Goth incident in Karachi where police rescued around 50 students found chained in the basement of a madrassa,” said Malik.
In the meeting, the Inspector General Sindh police presented a report on the Sohrab Goth incident. The madrassa tried to defame good madrassas functioning in the country, he added.
Ruet-e-Halal Committee Chairman Mufti Muneeb-ur-Rehman appreciated the government for taking steps to improve the security situation and said that they would continue extending their cooperation for peace in the country.

Would be interesting to see if this plan gets implemented. There is a deadline of about 12 or so days, so time is short.

Something needed to be done to control the growth of these so called madrassas, teaching things which are at some occasions totally at opposite poles to Islam.

Time should be given for the unregistered madrassas to get registered.

Demolishing is not good idea they should take control of these madrassas sack mullahz, and convert them to modern education schools, it will also be good for students.

guys what exactly happened in sohrab goth..why would somebody chain children in the basement?

 

[xataxsata]

Silly move it will only add friction one needs to be rational if govt. of pakistan can't provide enough schools then madarsas are good options if they are not registered then register them if they have some offensive teachings make them rational and scientific but demolishing is bad.

 

[Leader]

what happened to corruption, i think pakistani parliment should be demolished first, and zardari needs to be jailed

non registered madrassah is a threat to no one, just an ego triumph for stupid ppl

A big problem would be that the Islamic brigade would then stand up and start with their nonsense, although the Islamic committees in Pakistan, official ones, have said that there is no problem.

Could see a backlash here. If not handled properly.
