Lahore: Pakistan Muslim League President Senator Ch Shujat Hussain and senior central leader and former Deputy Prime Minister Ch Parvez Elahi have condemned in very strong words expunging of Islamic material including Islamic Ideology of Pakistan, Hazrat Abu Bakr (Radi Allah Anhu) and Hazrat Umar Farooq (Radi Allah Anhu) the Great Administrators and great poet Allama Iqbal’s poetry about Islam by the Punjab Govt from new Urdu book of the curriculum of Class Ten.

They said in a statement here today that this deplorable step of the Punjab Govt has exposed real face of the N-League rulers adding that they want to make Western forces and anti-Islam elements happy.

PML leaders said expunging of material about Islamic Ideology from the text books and inclusion of Hindu poet Feraq Gorakhpuri has gravely hurt the sentiments of the Muslims which should be condemned in the strongest manner possible. They demanded that the Punjab Govt should immediately withdraw this decision and material about Islamic ideology expunged from the text books should be retained forthwith.
