 Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz has warned that madrassas promoting militancy and extremism will face the same sort of action taken against the militants of Lal Masjid and Jamia Hafsa. Briefing journalists at Prime Minister’s House on Wednesday, Mr Aziz said the government would take “stern action” against any madrassas involved in illegal activities, as it had against Lal Masjid and Jamia Hafsa. He said madrassas which were functioning according to the law need not worry, but madrassas promoting militancy and extremism would not be tolerated.
| My guess is that nothing will be done against any madrassah in the next year, and that the Ministry of Religious Affairs will make a claim on the Lal Masjid land. |
