ISLAMABAD, Nov 6: Deputy parliamentary secretary-general of the Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal Hafiz Hussain Ahmed has said that the MMA will strongly resist the government move to bring a law to allow monitoring of Madaris (religious schools) in the country.

speaking to reporters here on Thursday, he gave a stern warning to the interior minister to refrain from indulging in what he called such a dangerous business.

He said these schools had never indulged in sectarianism nor was there a single example of their involvement in unlawful activities.

The rulers were only issuing statements against religious schools “to please their American masters” but no one had so far been able to put curbs nor anyone would be able to do so in future, he said and reminded the authorities that an effort made earlier to register the religious schools had to be abandoned.
