 | As if there was ever any doubt. |
PESHAWAR: A meeting of the NWFP Assembly Special Committee on Higher Education, Archives and Libraries department was held here today under the chairmanship of MPA Anwar Kamal Khan Marwat. [Long list of names redacted] as movers of the adjournment motions regarding the alleged ban imposed on "Dars-e-Quran" or "Wazz-o-Nasihat" entrusted to The Committee. | And a hearty wazoo nasty hat to youse, too! |
The members of the committee listened to the faculty members and the Vice Chancellor of the Peshawar University droning for hours whereby they explained their position with regard to the notification whereby an impression was created that the teaching of Holy Quran had been banned on the university campuses. The VC Prof. Dr. Haroonur Rasheed informed the meeting from the very outset that no ban on the teachings of Holy Quran what so ever had been imposed rather the university syndicate has recently decided to include the teachings of Holy Quran as part and parcel of the academic activities in each and every discipline of the university while different committees / organizations were working under the guidance of senior professors of the university to teach the students the Holy Quran. He also pointed out that the Supreme Court of Pakistan has imposed ban on political activities of students inside the education institutions. Later the members of the committee thoroughly discussed the issue of the aforementioned notification in detail in light of both the teachings of Holy Quran and Sunnah as well as the judgment of the Supreme Court of Pakistan banning political activities inside the educational institutions of the country.| Aha. This meeting is with regards to the fine "talibs" always pictured at the 'Burg with the Nazi flags. Looks like somone tried to rein them in and HQ pulled some strings, with a nice dog-n-pony show at the Chancellor's office. |
Later the committee, decided to further probe the matter and if required they will again summon the university administration and will soon finalize its recommendations for submission to the Assembly. | Obviously, any sanctions on the, um...students is unIslamic, with jobs and possibly heads on the line. |
