Smokers' Corner: The 'Religious Card'

Oct 14, 2019

Islamabad (Pakistan) Oct 14: In 1981, the University Grants Commission of Pakistan issued a directive for authors and publishers of school and college textbooks which stated, "The depiction of Jinnah should be that of a man of orthodox religious views who sought the creation of an Islamic state. The ulema should be promoted as genuine heroes of the Pakistan Movement. There should be an emphasis on ritualistic Islam, together with a rejection of liberal interpretations of the religion. The books should guide students towards the ultimate goal of Pakistan, i.e., the creation of a completely Islamised State." The complete text of the directive can be found in Mutala-i-Pakistan, published in 1983 by Allama Iqbal Open University.
