Punjab bans 100 textbooks over ‘anti-Pakistan, anti-religious’ content

24/07/2020

The Punjab Curriculum and Textbook Board has banned the sale and printing of 100 textbooks for having anti-Pakistan and anti-Islamic content.

According to the board’s Managing Director Rai Manzoor Hussain, the books were being used at private schools.

More than 10,000 books have been seized from the institutions and the matter is being further investigated, he said.

The board has formed 30 committees to investigate the books. They have been printed by 31 publishers, including Oxford University Press Pakistan. They have been ordered to halt their publishing and sale.

According to Hussain, the banned books contained ‘blasphemous’ and ‘anti-Islamic’ content against the caliphs. The birth dates of Quaid-e-Azam and Allama Iqbal in the books were incorrect and Azad Kashmir was shown as a part of India in the maps.

The books also contained incorrect sayings by Mahatma Gandhi and other people.

Hussain added that it was sad that children were being taught incorrect things at schools. The committees formed will visit private schools across the province again and check if the books are still being used. Violators will be punished.

On Thursday, the Punjab Assembly passed the Punjab Tahaffuz-e-Bunyad-e-Islam Act, 2020. It states that Lahore’s director -general of public relations will have the power to visit and inspect any printing press, publication house, book store and confiscate any books before or after printing.

Publishers have been obliged to provide four copies of their books published to the authorised officer the day they are published.

The DGPR can refuse permission to import, print or publish a book “if it is prejudicial to national interest, culture, religious and sectarian harmony,” it added.

Following this, people took to Twitter and other social media platforms to criticise the law calling it “unreasonable”.

lol banned book for having pigs images
there are no wild pigs in Pakistan?
Punjab Curriculum and Textbook Board (PTCB) has banned a children’s mathematics book that had pigs’ images imprinted to help them solve basic arithmetic problems.

The book caused an uproar as parents were furious about this insensitivity. The situation escalated so much that the textbook board had to issue a clarification on Wednesday.

The notification said that the booklet series: Titled Infant Mathematics had been prohibited because it was published without prior approval of PTCB by M/S Sunrise Publications.

The book contains material and content failing under Section 10(5), of the Punjab Curriculum and Textbooks Board Act 2015 under which printing, publication, selling or prescribing in an institution of any textbook or supplementary material.

It says that the book might be detrimental for examination or assessment purposes.

[Anything] which contains anything repugnant to the injunction of Islam or contrary, to the integrity, defence or security of Pakistan or any part of Pakistan, public order or integrity cannot be approved.

The board has also swung into action against the publisher for publishing and selling the booklet without prior approval which is a violation of Section 10 of Punjab Curriculum and Textbooks Board Act 2015.

Punjab textbook board has further directed publishers to stop producing, printing, publishing, and selling of the book. Moreover, any institution using this book has been asked to comply with the directives and submit a compliance report within seven working days.

that's why our many of our educated kids so much against pak ideology, islamic values and military and they love western values. brain washing since childhood. on the other hand we have extremists from madrassahs where kids are brain washed from another angle. that's why i always stress upon the grooming of the kids by parents themselves but as our society is following west and ladies are not available for grooming of their kids so they are at the mercy of these various school systems who are doing slow poisoning of our kids. it is the ultimate responsibility of every muslim to understand the basics of Quran and teach his/her kids these things so that they dont fall pray to mullah and liberal.

In a book of Mathematics, counting concepts were being explained to the young students showing pictures of pigs, which was unacceptable. In another instance, he said one of the books tried to promote crime and violence among the students based on unemployment in the country.
LOL
He added “instead of including sayings of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah and Allama Muhammad Iqbal, etc. one of the books carried sayings of Mahatma Gandhi and some unknown people.” He noted that it was not right to glorify Gandhi on the one hand and to downplay Pakistan’s national heroes on the other.

Unfortunately, ex Muslims are all over Pakistan in key positions preparing ground to move away from religion and increase love for urine drinkers.

This has to be stopped and regulations strictly implemented to ensure we don't allow foreign funded cancer of corrupted young minds

Make no mistake, there's no indoctrination, only free thought.

This law has paved the way for a theocracy, totalitarian government. North Korea lite, in other words.

Is that the fault of Western success, or the fault of Islamic nations', failure in the 21st century.

 

[truthfollower]

only free thought.

Pakistani constitution protects free thoughts and free will?

 

[SQ8]

Pakistani constitution protects free thoughts and free will?

It depends upon interpretation - Pakistani leadership uses the constitution as toilet paper and its sheep like population follows suit.

They feel some sense of heavenly accomplishment by banning all thoughts and ideas non-Islamic but also using that to prostitute the word Islam to their political gain. The general population as this thread will aptly demonstrate is capable of being made to sell their mothers in the name of Islam.

So theoretically a Pakistani politician could ban foreign prostitutes from working in Pakistan unless they stick to only performing a Mujra or undertaking some made Islamic supplication before the act. If the anti-christ has any perfect target market - it is going to be Pakistan and most Pakistanis.
