HYDERABAD, July 13: Acting president of the Jamiat Ulema-i-Pakistan and an MMA legislator in the National Assembly Sahibzada Abul Khair Mohammad Zubair on Thursday accused the government of changing the primary syllabus and said that the subject of Islamiyat had been deleted from the course of class-I.

He was speaking at a reception hosted for MMA leaders of the Hyderabad district on Wednesday night. He said that the government’s pro-US policies were harming the country’s ‘ideological’ boundaries, adding that Pakistanis were being killed in Wana and Balochistan operations.

He said that the country’s borders had been weakened after the installation of a pro-India government in Afghanistan. He criticised the role of Aga Khan Education Board and said it was promoting western values and obscenity in the name of moderation while turning educational institutions into what he termed killing fields. He claimed that activists of the Sunni Tahreek were being murdered in targeted killings.

He hoped that the people of Hyderabad would support the MMA’s anti-government protest movement and said that the people would not hesitate to sacrifice anything for curbing spiralling prices of commodities and also for the promotion of Muslim values.

He said that the movement was aimed against President Gen Pervez Musharraf, adding that the country needed a general who was ‘God-fearing’.

Provincial chief of MMA Asadullah Bhutto, who was confident that the MMA would succeed in removing President Pervez Musharraf from power, termed the elections in Azad Kashmir continuation of the drama that had been staged in the name of local body elections.
