NA demanded the teaching of Holy Quran with translation mandatory in universities

The National Assembly on Monday unanimously passed a resolution asking the government to make the teaching of the Holy Quran with Urdu translation compulsory in all the universities and federal government-affiliated higher educational institutions.

The resolution stated that according to the constitutions, Pakistan is officially an Islamic Republic state and the Holy Quran, and the Sunnah should be considered the supreme law. “Therefore, it is necessary to make proper arrangements for the understanding of the Holy Quran in universities,” the resolution stated.

Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs Ali Muhammad Khan moved the resolution on behalf of the House and said that teaching the Holy Quran with translation would help the students better understand it.

Moreover, another resolution was passed unanimously. The House expanded full political and governmental support to Kashmiris and denounced the violence of Indian forces in the Indian Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IOJ&K) against Kashmiris. The resolution was passed on the eve of Kashmir Martyrs’ Day.

Minister Ali Muhammad Khan pushed the resolution on behalf of the House.
