No plan to introduce changes in curriculum of seminaries: Speaker

PESHAWAR, Oct 28 (APP):Speaker National Assembly, Assad Qaisar Sunday said that government has not formulated any plan to introduce changes in curriculum of seminaries nor any sort of policy in this connection was under consideration.
Addressing a huge congregation at Dar-ul-Quran Panjpir here, he explicitly rejected the impression to change curriculum of seminaries, saying, any such information was nothing but were rumors. He said that seminaries were bastion of Islam and harbinger of peace adding it was unfortunate that their significance was being ignored by previous governments.
