Summary Says class-based education system contravenes the Constitution
LORALAI (Dunya News) – Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) emir Hafiz Naeem-ur-Rehman has said class-based education system contravenes the Constitution and is against the interests of Pakistan.
Addressing 'Become Capable' event here on Saturday, Hafiz Naeem-ur-Rehman alleged that the country has been ruled by barbarians, landlords, and bureaucrats.
He said 35 million children across the country are out of school, which shows incompetence of the elders and feudal rulers, adding the youth must not be disappointed and always fight against oppression and injustice.
The JI chief said, “Today we need to change the system, not individuals or faces. The ‘Banu Qabal’ programme is proving to be a game changer. According to the Constitution, it is the responsibility of the state to provide free and quality education up to matriculation.”
He said motorcyclists pay heavy taxes, while landlords and wealthy people do not pay taxes. “Why is a petrol and gas agreement not signed with Iran? If the gas pipeline is operational, the wheels of industry will turn,” he went on saying.
The JI chief added that the Balochistan region is also deprived of gas. The entire Balochistan can get gas through a virtual pipeline. There are large marble mines in Balochistan, he added.
