LAHORE: Ahle-Sunnat Wal Jamaat (ASWJ), while making a pledge to ensure that “Gilgit-Baltistan remains a Sunni province”, called for a protest on Tuesday against a change in curriculum which will have the names of the Holy Prophet’s (pbuh) companions removed from textbooks.
The reaction came after the arrangement of changing the curriculum entered its final stage, as claimed by ASWJ. The curriculum will be implemented in all public-sector schools and colleges.
According to ASWJ’s Media Coordinator Ubaidullah Usmani, Interior Minister Rehman Malik during his visit to the province after theKohistan tragedy took place, gave his assurances that the Shia community’s demand of the removal of names of the Holy Prophet’s (pbuh) companions and other demands will be fulfilled.
