** Interesting theory. Any views for and against are welcomed

JI terms English medium

LAHORE

**

Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) chief Syed Munawar Hasan on Friday said the enforcement of English as medium of instruction from class one in Punjab was a great injustice to our children having no parallel in the world.

**Delivering Friday sermon at Mansoora masjid, the JI chief said the provincial government was pushing the coming generations into darkness of illiteracy only to obtain loans from the IMF and other financial institutions.

In most of the countries of the world, education was imparted in mother or national languages, and Hamudur Rehman Commission during Ayub regime had also recommended primary education in Urdu which was not implemented, he said.

Munawar Hasan said the JI had no objection to teaching of English as a subject but its adoption as medium of instruction had created problems for students as well as rural teachers.

He said if the Punjab government did not change its outlook the JI would be forced to launch a mass movement on the issue.

Why you bolded the background part of the article, to get him bashed by some enlighten moderated people?
The very next line is more valid and argumentative, maybe it didn’t appeal you.
