QUETTA: The Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-Ideological (JUI-I) has cautioned the federal government against imposing restrictions on seminaries.

Speaking at a peace conference on Thursday night, JUI-I’s vice-president Maulana Abdul Qadir Luni warned that any move to change the syllabus of seminaries would be opposed.

He criticised formers presidents retired Gen Pervez Musharraf and Asif Ali Zardari for what he alleged their anti-seminary policies.

He said people had given the mandate to PML-N for reviving economy and improving security, but the government had put these issues on the back burner and apparently made up its mind to impose restrictions on seminaries.
