**KARACHI (Online) - Federal Education Minister Javed Ashraf Qazi apparently does not know how many ‘Siparas’ are there in the Holy Quran. **
**On Wednesday responding to a question by a TV anchor of a private TV channel in its morning show, the education minister, who is also retired General of Pak Army and ex-chief of ISI, said that now a student would complete 40 ‘Siparay’ of Holy Quran from Class III to VIII in school and now the children would not need to go to ‘madrassahs’ for learning the Holy Quran. The anchor surprised over the minister apparent ignorance, asked him how many Siparay they would learn, the minister replied 40 ‘Siparay’. **

Astonished and surprised over the minister reply, when the lady anchor for the third time said she believed that there were 30 ‘Siparay’ in the Holy Quran, then Javed Ashraf shaking his head apologised and corrected himself by saying, “Oh I am sorry
Tht why we backwards because of our Education and leaders.Even they dont know how many siparas in holy quran.
a team is a reflection of its captain, in this case these unqualified losers, all they know how to do is say yes sir to the mush man! even a 4-5 yr old kid knows there are 30 siparas in QURAN! just sad if u really think about it!
maybe he was counting the siparahs that some alleged goat ate :D
as wrong as this is, and as disappointing it is, I would rather have someone who is ignorant about religion .. than someone who poses as some authority and misleads people into a bunch of rabid psychos. (cough MMA cough)
he is the same guy who ridiculed Inzimam on his english speaking skills during a speech he made somewhere. No wonder he was severely criticized for this act by people from all walks of life.
