NA passes resolutions seeking educational reforms in Madressas, ban on broadcast of immoral programs on TV channels

ISLAMABAD: The National Assembly on Tuesday passed resolutions seeking educational reforms in Madressas (seminaries) as well as ban on broadcast of immoral programs on TV channels.

The session of the lower house of the Parliament started at 10:46 am on Tuesday with speaker National Assembly Sardar Ayaz Sadiq in the chair.

The house passed a resolution urging the federal government to take steps to improve and regulate education in seminaries.

On the occasion, the minister for religious affairs Sardar Muhammad Yusuf said while speaking on the floor of the house that the government is consulting with Ittehad-e-Tanzeemat-e-Madaris to bring reforms in seminaries.

The minister said that over 8,000 seminaries are already providing contemporary education and the government is ready to facilitate other seminaries to introduce contemporary subjects in their curricula. He said that negotiations are being held with the stakeholders to establish a Regulatory Authority for seminaries.

The house also adopted another resolution urging the government to impose immediate ban on telecasting of immoral programmes by private and public TV channels.

On the resolution, the minister of state for parliamentary affairs Shaikh Aftab Ahmad said that ban was imposed on content sharing YouTube website following uploading of blasphemous material on it. He said that the government now wants to lift ban on the website with necessary safeguards in order to avoid repetition of incidents which hurt the sentiments of Muslims.
