Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani made the statement Sunday while
visiting Multan city, the Associated Press of Pakistan (APP) reported.
Gilani directed Interior Minister Rehman Malik to meet representatives
of Wafaq-Ul-Madaaris Al-Arabia to decide a common curriculum for all
religious institutions in the country.
Gilani said that madrassas "should also impart IT training and
education to students so that they could earn their livelihood".
The prime minister told an 18-member delegation of Al-Arabia led by
Qari Hanif Jalandhary that Islam had been maligned by "a few perverted
elements working on foreign agenda".
He sought the cooperation of Islamic seminaries to back the
government's campaign against "extremism and terrorism".
Qari Jalandhary urged the prime minister that degrees issued by
Islamic seminaries should be recognized so that their students find
jobs. IANS
