Government Proposes Presidential Ordinance to Regulate Madrassa Registration for Legal Oversight
The government has introduced a proposal for a presidential ordinance to regulate madrassa registration, aiming to provide legal protection under the Directorate General of Religious Education and Societies Registration Amendment Act. The proposal was discussed during meetings between Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, President Asif Ali Zardari, and Maulana Fazlur Rehman.
The new framework seeks to tighten regulation of madrasas, ensuring they align with national educational standards. In response, the Supreme Council of the Ittehad-e-Tanazeem Madaris Diniya convened in Islamabad, where they passed a resolution calling for the immediate issuance of a gazette notification for the amended Societies Registration Act.
