The National Assembly unanimously adopted a resolution on Monday calling on the government to make Urdu language teaching in the Holy Quran compulsory at all universities and higher education institutions affiliated with the federal government.
The resolution states that, according to the constitution, Pakistan is officially a state in the Islamic Republic and that the Holy Quran and Sunnah should be considered the supreme law. "It is therefore necessary to take reasonable precautions to understand the Holy Quran in universities," the resolution said.
