Martial law regimes made conscious efforts to change curriculum: Raza Rabbani

ISLAMABAD, February 1: Chairman Senate, Mian Raza Rabbani, on Monday said that various martial law regimes particularly that of General Zia-ul-Haq made conscious efforts to change the curriculum in Pakistan to mislead the Pakistani youth from the path of democracy, roots of federation and to denounce the multi ethnic structure in the country.
There was a criminal attempt to tarnish and distort the history of our country thus closing the chapter of struggle by our great political heroes in past, said Mian Raza Rabbani in his inaugural address in the ‘opening ceremony of Internship programme of Senate of Pakistan,’ at Pakistan Institute of Parliamentary Studies (PIPS) on Monday. According to press release, Chairman Senate said that there is continued effort to portray and project the politicians as the worst and the most corrupt people of the country. The politicians are also part of this society, good or bad people could be among them but do the military and civil bureaucracy is not corrupt, are they ‘sacred cows?’
Raza Rabbani while shedding light on the internship programme said that this is a special day for the internees but it is also special day in the parliamentary history and especially for Senate of Pakistan that a new tradition has been set to engage the fresh graduates from various disciplines of eight top universities around Islamabad. Formal MOUs have been signed with these universities to hire the services of 46 internees including twenty six female and twenty male students. -Online
