FORMER PRESIDENT OF PAKISTAN AGAINST SEMINARIES THAT PROMOTE TERRORISM

Former president and head of Pakistan People's Party (Parliamentarians) Asif Zardari said that he was not against those madaris which are providing religious education but he was against the madaris which “educate and promote terrorism in the country and facilitate terrorists who kill our people on our land.”

He also asked Sindh chief minister Syed Murad Ali Shah to contact federal government on the issue of Afghan nationals living in Sindh. "We have suffered very much at their hands. They must get out of Sindh and the country."
The meeting was also attended by Health Minister Dr Sikandar Mendhro, Chief Secretary Rizwan Memon, IG Sindh AD Khuwaja, Additional IG CTD Sanaullah Abbasi, Additional IG Karachi Mushtaq Maher, Commissioner Karachi Aijaz Ali Khan, Commissioner Hyderabad, Qazi Shahid Pervaiz who has been posted as Home Secretary now, DIG Hyderabad Khadim Rind and other senior officers.
On the advice of Zardari, Shah decided to pay Rs 10 million as the compensatory amount to the family of the head constable killed in the Sehwan blast. His heirs would also be given one job and other facilities. Zardari urged the chief minister to grant other facilities to the family, as well. "This is not an ordinary matter. A head constable of police has embraced martyrdom in the line of duty hence ours is a clear and loud message to the entire police force that their government will not leave their families alone and helpless if they sacrificed their life in the line of their duty," Zardari asserted.
IG Sindh police AD Khuwaja briefed former president about the suicide bombing at the shrine of Lal Shahbaz Qalandar in Sehwan. He said that the Counter Terrorism Department was assigned the investigation and geo-fencing data was being obtained.
Former President said that there were some clear areas such as provincial borders with Balochistan and Punjab where strict checking mechanism should be made. He said districts or areas where facilitators of the terrorists live should also be dealt with iron hands.
Murad Shah said that he worked out comprehensive plan under which he would request the federal government to conduct operation in Balochistan particularly in the areas of Wadh, Mastung, Jhal Magsi, Khuzdar and some other areas. "This is important and has been worked out in the light of agencies' reports," he said.

This he said in response to Sindh chief minister Syed Murad Ali Shah’s briefing who told him at a meeting at CM House yesterday that he had sent a list of 94 madaris (religious seminaries) to federal government for vigilance and watch on their activities but instead of taking action the federal government gave a heart-breaking response.
"Our forefathers had established Sindh Madressatul Islam where founder of nation, Quaid-i-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah received education. This is the kind of madressa we want to promote," Zardari clarified. Shah told him that operation had begun in the areas right from Malir to Jamshoro, Hyderabad, Dadu belt, Sukkur to Larkana, Ghotki and some other areas.Zardari said that some forces were working to weaken Pakistan but he would not allow this conspiracy to succeed.
