Invoking Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, Ittehad Tanzimat Madaris (ITM) chief Mufti Munibur Rehman has demanded the removal of Federal Information Minister Pervez Rashid from his office.
“Pervez Rashid has regretted over what he had said about seminaries during his address in Karachi. We reject it. We don’t accept his regrets. We want PM Sharif to remove him from his office and take legal action against him. Demonstrations will be held against Pervez Rashid on Friday all over the country,” Rehman said, while addressing a press conference at National Press Club on Tuesday.
“If the government considers students of seminaries illiterate then why it is holding talks with them? We will hold a meeting of legal and constitutional experts for consultation process with them on this matter.”
