Madrassas will be protected at all costs: PML-Q

Madrassas are playing a role as the ideological fortresses of the country, Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain, the president of the PML-Q, said on Sunday, adding that they would be protected at all costs.

He told reporters at his residence that madrassas were not involved in terrorism. He rejected the need for establishing an authority for monitoring madrassas, suggesting that a parliamentary committee, consisting of representatives of all political parties, should be set up to resolve the issue.

He said, The madrassa system in Pakistan is the worlds biggest non-government organisation which provides education to two million students. Shujaat said madrassas were given protection under the previous government, adding that the PML-Q would keep pressing the government not to change the madrassa policy.
