PESHAWAR: Khyber Pakhtunkhwa elementary and secondary education minister Atif Khan on Friday said his government would rectify the mistake of removing Quranic verses on jihad from the curriculum.
He was speaking during a meeting at the Textbook Board of Peshawar offices, where Zakat and Usher minister Habibur Rehman and local government minister Inayatullah Khan from Jamaat-i-Islami, officials of the provincial elementary and secondary education department and educationists were in attendance. PTI is in alliance with Jamaat-i-Islami in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government.
JI has been very vocal in its opposition to changes to the curriculum.
After becoming partner in the PTI government, it demanded that PTI consult it before making changes to the curriculum.
According to a news release issued by the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf Media Cell, the participants were briefed on ‘lacunas and mistakes’ in the curriculum.
